Winter Rose

"I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape - the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter.  Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show."  
-Andrew Wyeth


I took these photos this week while on a walk in Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard.  Equally beautiful in winter months, the island takes on a deserted feel as the "bone structure of the landscape" reveals itself.  Unlike the summer when it is all dressed up and ready for the limelight, in the winter it has that natural feel, like catching someone unaware and by doing so, capturing their true essence...

"I didn't ask for it to be over, but then again, I never asked for it to begin. For that's the way it is with life, as some of the most beautiful days come completely by chance. But even the most beautiful days eventually have their sunsets" - unknown
