This large bird was standing in the water, all alone. It was perfectly still…and it was biting cold (about 10 degrees (F) above zero).
Last light over the Pacific. 2008 has been a wonderful year, and soon its last light will be fading too. From Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s Ring Out, Wild Bells: Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light; The year is dying in the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let him die. Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true.
