This morning I became happily absorbed crunching around in the frozen marsh in a forest of cattails. I composed a dozen photos of the fluffy beasts and fell in love with none of them.

What moved my spirit was the trestle bridge, below, framed in a stream of golden sun, and above, silvered under the feathered tails of clouds on a striking blue screen - such energetic compositions to frame my Monday morning.
