Lovely, Dark, and Deep...




Richmond, for the past month or so, has had a serious cold. It's kept almost everybody indoors, save for only a few. I haven't felt temperatures this low in the city in years; it's ghostly, watching the steam fall into the blue sky from the top of your head. Families who are lucky enough to own their homes in the Fan are definitely using their fireplaces, because you can smell the wood burning.
I call it a breath of fresh air. I want to see the changing of the seasons. So many people are ready for Spring, and I can't blame them. How awesome it's going to be in only a month or so: rocking shorts and a bandana, kicking up some warm dirt on the Buttermilk Trails and Forest Hill Park with a bottle of water and a camera hung around my torso. But I don't mind waiting. It's beautiful. Let it snow.
