Getting to the Heart of the Matter





  


It took me a while to get there, but I did. That first shot is actually the sun. Not the moon, but the sun, mid-morning through colorless fog, of which we have had a lot.  The top three photos were taken at Minto Brown park in Salem, and they were spotted within a mile and an hour of the last one, all today, January 21st. Amazing, isn't it?  Such a spectacular, tiny pink surprise! It catches my eye every year on campus, tucked in a corner behind the back Mill Stream bridge, blooming its little heart out in the freezing cold of January. It is like a miracle each time I see it. Especially today. Thank you, moon-like sun, and chubby-fluffed bird, and lonesome berry. And thank you sweet harbinger of blossoms to come!
