Winter light

I locked myself out of the house today on the way to Prima Vox rehearsal. (Don't ask.) Luckily, I had my purse with my phone so I could call my mother, who has an extra key. Also luckily, I had my camera in my purse.

So I stomped around in the snowbanks trying to capture the winter light.

It seems like over the past couple of weeks the light changed dramatically. Not the blue-pink light of the winter solstice. Longer somehow. Warmer, though it's only early February and certainly not very warm outside.

These photos don't do it justice. You had to be standing there, closing your eyes and just feeling the light on your eyelids.

Which is exactly what I was standing in the middle of the sidewalk doing when Mom drove up to rescue me, of course.
