Winter in an island community can be a time for solitude and peaceful reflection - a time to remember the busy summer tourist season while on a stroll through the woods, now quiet and lonesome. It can also be a time of finding stark beauty in nature struggling with the elements. The leafless trees, waves crashing in a November storm, the first snows of December, and sea smoke rising from a marina on a frosty January morning, all make lovely subjects in this season of long nights.
