When the fog freezes: Cordes in the winter

Once in a while, the fog that rises from the valleys surrounding Cordes-sur-Ciel freezes.

Overnight the dense cloud that made driving so difficult the night before becomes a delicate crystalline web, clinging to the edges of every leaf, every branch.

It’s magic.

This morning we walked to the le Grain de Sel, the chalky outcropping you can see from our street.

It’s a short but steep climb to walk there from our house, but you can drive up past it and take a flat path too.

Wishing you all a year filled with glimmers of hope, fresh insights, many moments of pure joy and raucous laughter, and at least a few of breathtaking awe.

    • Hi Kip! That’s our dog, Mocha, who needed a home just when we arrived in France. She’s a good friend. I thought of you on your birthday – hope you received my good wishes. Sending lots of love to you and your whole family.
