The<br />

WINTER PERSON’S<br />

GUIDE TO<br />

summer<br />

BY DAVID BLACKWELL<br />

As the winter retreats and the snow melts, feeding the instantaneously<br />

verdant slopes, finger-painting the kaleidoscopic petals of the valley, and<br />

giving life to La Dranse which roars its approval as it hurtles down to<br />

Thonon, I typically feel at once overjoyed and wistful.<br />

Overjoyed that spring has thrust its vigorous renewal upon us, but wistful<br />

for the crispness of the cold white / blue horizons, the hazy crepuscular<br />

half-light through which the mountains fade into the distance, and the<br />

incredible playground that the frozen water crystals have given me for<br />

several dark months.<br />
