The Winter Solstice

Today is the winter solstice, and the sunset was particularly beautiful on this shortest day…

… and then the full moon rose into the Longest Night.

Long Nights Moon

Happy solstice, everyone…

I heard a bird sing in the dark of December
A magical thing and sweet to remember;
“We are closer to spring than we were in September,”
I heard a bird sing in the dark of December.
