Deep in the valley in the deepest winter, the creek flows almost silently under multilayered ice seemingly laid down by a jeweller.

So we crouch down and take in the scene, intricately painted by invisible forces while everyone else is busy being busy.

No one is busy here. And if we lean in just so, we can make out the gentle sounds of the water flowing below, life playing out in shades of black, white, and grey.

It’ll all disappear as the temperature inevitably rises. But it’s here, now. Which is all that matters.
