Fragile

The light as I hiked to work this morning was just beautiful. Not too bright, but quite soft so that it kind of kissed everything - gently.

The leaves on this tree looked rather fragile to me, as they hang on to the branches. There was no wind though, so - for now - they were quite safe.

And as there wasn't much ice underfoot today I felt safe enough to stride forth purposefully, rather than shuffling.
