Sunset
Hill
wooded with maple

Snow on branches
old village roofs

Blue water

The river
meanders
through withered grasses

In a brown kimono
with a white umbrella—

the slender woman
on stone Drum Bridge

feels brisk and cold to me...like walking in a first snow of the year...wonderfully serene, snow falling and collecting fast...light and wet...as I was reading this, it took me to that place, before clicking on the link for the picture you so kindly worded for us. Beautifully done!
