icy leaf

wild strawberry, heavy frost, centralia, washington, 2005

spent ten days with my wife’s family in western washington several christmas's ago. shocking to fly from warm, sunny florida, to a crisp, clear 16 degrees. hid myself at sunrise beneath layers of sweater, coat, hat, and gloves, and ventured out, crunching through patches of frozen mud, branches, and ferns. bent down to view this crystal-covered strawberry leaf in my mother-in-law’s garden.
