I was so lucky with the weather in Cumbria. A brief snowfall brought glory to the Fells and gave my sister and I the opportunity for a wonderful, if slippery, walk up near Striding Edge. The clear blue sky and bright sunlight gave the scenery an unusual intensity. It was as if I was seeing everything with coke-enhanced clarity (not that I've ever indulged in such things, of course). The starkness of twigs, the hard line of an iced pool's edge, gnarled trees, harsh rocks softened by melting snow on vivid green moss. I'm still downloading the 200 photos I took, so I'll post some later but for now, here's one my sister took of me.
