Cold, wind blowing, increased chill...
It's been hard from the warmth of my office or of my home to convince myself that walking outside is a good idea. I do know that I'll feel better for it, and while yesterday's chill convinced me to stay inside, today I won the argument with myself. It was a short walk, but yes, it was a good one.
I wonder where the Canada Geese are hiding. I usually have a conversation with a flock of geese during my "close to work" walks, but they seem to have pulled a disappearing act today.
Yes, I know, it really is winter. It's February, so I suppose the cold is to be expected. And no, that's not a complaint; I really can't complain given the minimal amount of snow that we've had so far this winter.
 | An early afternoon (short) escape from work into the sunshine was a welcome break, but chilly!
And yes, my hood was definitely needed. |
Images of blooms from late summer or early fall, captured in a dry and brown state, still beautiful. |  |

Still hanging on, in spite of the strong winds trying to rip this seed from its pod. |
