There it is barely above freezing
But it's a nice day to be outside
According to Kevin writing back to me
Who just returned from the Arctic last week
Cold is a relative experience for him
Coming from the shore of Hudson Bay
After taking photos of polar bears
Waiting for the winter sea ice to form
He is a modern day adventurer
A man with a camera on a mission
Traveling to the ends of the earth
Collecting exquisite wildlife images
We also experience cold by degrees
Being used to subtropical warmth
For us here a temperature drop that is chilling
He would find positively balmy
The same weather may be delightful or dreadful
Depending on your location and mindset
As for me I am comfortably warm inside today
Waiting for the wind to shift and the sun to shine
