The Sound of a Walk: Spring is coming but not yet here

Today, after lunch, the sun came out and the temperature rose just enough to tempt me to take an afternoon walk. The air was brisk and my gate relaxed. The birds were happy and talkative and water from an unknown source was making its way down. Down to somewhere as water only ever goes there.

My camera came with me and was eager to see and listen to the birds and the water and to watch the wind rustle the leftover autumn leaves still clinging to their trees. But, my camera got cold and the wind got colder. We returned home in a hurry because winter is still here.
