In the Bleak Mid-Winter - No pino do frio Inverno

Back to blogging ...again. De volta
Winter has not been so productive as expected in terms of writing and photographing and "Cor e Forma" has been in hibernation. My surprise is that still there are some persistent visitors that keep coming.

Other different images, of an unbelievable sunny December day, are from Ria Formosa, Algarve.
The symbols of summer are always present as this fish almost floating in the winter, still mild, breeze
