Edge of Winter
Andrew Wyeth said, “I prefer winter and fall, when you can feel the bone structure of the landscape – the loneliness of it – the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it – the whole story doesn’t show.”
I suspect Wyeth would have loved Schweitzer’s marsh as it seems to illustrate his quote so well. Early this day, when the temperature was still below zero, the sweep of silence across the ice was broken only by the bones of dead oaks.
