seasonal affective disorder ?

Winter is here (unofficially).  It is dark too early and I miss the light.
Sometimes I catch myself daydreaming of summer and wish my feet were dangling in the water.

But we have not even reached the winter solstice.  Ah, the shortest day of the year.  Gets better after that. If only it weren't for January, February and March.  sigh.  Time to look forward to winter activities.  An upcoming Christmas-New Years snowboard trip to Sun Valley, Idaho has been shaken those S.A.D. blues pretty much out of my head.  These incredible images of a house in the Pyrenees floor me:

Stunning.  

And the black.  Oh, I'm all over that.
