I love that cold assault on your nostrils and senses when you step out of the warmth of your home into a crisp late Autumn; Early Winter night.
The smell of moisture just on the cusp of freezing point, the faint hint of someone's open fire burning seasoned logs and a few coal fueled fires adding to the tint of crispness.
It's not cold, it's fresh, a brisk walking pace is all you need to keep you warm as you watch the vapour of your breath with each lungful.
The dog by my side enjoying the quickened pace, still sniffing and mooching in the now frost touched leaves still on the ground. Little shards of ice crystals starting to form on the blades of grass he pads over quickly while seeking out the next scent to catch his attention.
The ground slightly slippery from the building up of ice particles, letting you know that soon it will be thicker and proper ice, so to watch your step.
Even while out this afternoon the sky showed a hint that snow is coming and the low sun in the sky is to be enjoyed, the blaze of the sun more serene and gentle now the Summer has gone, yet the light is far more breathtaking at this time of year. The clouds wispy and faint, like a beach that has been swept by a strong wind and a quick tide. The Blues stronger, the reds more sombre, the colours between ever more gentle.
A feast for your eyes and a treat for your senses.
An evening walk with my Shadow...
