many faded things

Hi! It's been a while. I'm reading much more than I'm posting, which I guess doesn't say a whole lot since this is the first time I've posted in over four months. Oops. I'll try to write an actual post soon(ish), but tonight is not that time -- I still haven't quite escaped from a work-ate-me phase. In the meantime, let me just say that I may be a summer kid all the way, but my jaw dropped on the way to work this morning when I saw the snow on these trees against a bit of blue sky.
