May, May Not

Here's my 2011 calendar shot for May. It's one of my favo(u)rite scenes -- all mist-erious.



Is the shot from May of  last year? No. That's ice in front of that island. It's from sometime in March. But what I like about the shot is the light,* and to me, light speaks of coming into the "yang time" of the year, when things you've been working on in the dark months see the world. 

One of those things, for me, is a sort of five-year plan for my creative writing. More about that later.

*Or at least that's what I like about it now. I reserve the right to let it tell me something different when I'm at a different point in my life and am listening for a different message.
