A cuttle wind from the east skirrs disconsolate crows to peck at stony earth. Ice grimes the riverbank, a frozen record of the last high tide. Ashen mud shudders, shrinks below, leaving the naked reeds to whisper stories of winters dead.
Ha ! Well I did take my sketchbook but honestly it was just so so cold, I couldn’t take my gloves off for more than a moment. I wrote the words in my head whilst I was walking and then came back and did the ink sketch as a response. Shivering is a good feeling to have captured ! 🙂
I’m shivering reading this – did you sketch this outside? brrrrr
