A drizzly morning, with the sky as gray as an old dishrag. In the hedges, the chickadees flit and chatter, undeterred by cold.
This is my day twelve contribution to this month’s River of Stones.

I love this shot, though, despite the drizzle! Something about the softness of the background and the sharpness of the scrub.

I actually shot this yesterday, when it wasn’t raining, but I’m glad you enjoyed it! This is a stretch of weedy sidewalk framing a yard with straw-like grass that Reggie and I pass nearly every day, and these scrubby weeds grab my attention every time. They’re difficult to focus on, but yesterday I shot this photo anyway because I liked the juxtaposition of earth-tones and textures.
