The winter solstice, or the “return of the light”, has been celebrated across the globe from time immemorial. Christmas Day, the annual observance of the birth of Jesus Christ, is generally believed to have borrowed heavily from those earlier solstice traditions. The candlelight service here is at the Deep River Congregational Church.

It’s increasingly rare to find a stand of these in New England; invasive swamp grasses have moved in on a grand scale. These plants used to be a food staple, different parts used at different times of the year; perhaps they will make a comeback via the localvore movement.

The Essex Garden Club hosts an annual “May Market”, and a few years ago, I went looking for perennials that might be especially interesting to photograph. One of the club members steered me to some anemone roots, and they definitely fit the bill. That first year, they bloomed through the autumn into November. This year, however, rabbits cleaned them out, and rightfully so, given my procrastination with laying in the protective netting.
