~Georgia O'Keefe

in an interesting twist to this challenge, unbenownst to each other, all participants provided two photographs for various reasons.  it worked out rather nicely i think.

With night coming early, 
And dawn coming late, 
And ice in the bucket 
And frost by the gate.

The fires burn 
And the kettles sing, 
And earth sinks to rest 
Until next spring."
-  Elizabeth Coatsworth
