Shadows linger, trees fall, boats rest easy and homes full of bright colors nestle next to others boarded up for the off-season. The journey of the seasons breathes softly as days grow longer and the chill of one day contrasts with the warmth of another. All things are in flux, all the time, but more noticeably so in the deep mid-winter.
