And so, last night, passed the shortest night of the year. Today, it is officially winter. And each day, from here on, the sunlight stretches a little longer.

Happy solstice.

Thanks to Tanya Richman and Paul Cumin for the photos below, which were captured a week ago… but seemed timeless enough to stand in for our solstice post.

People complain that Facebook is full of negativity and trolling, but I have found it to be full of people posting photos of this place we are lucky enough to live, expressing their wonder and gratitude. I like it.
