Getting close: Solitary bud against the dark

I can’t entirely define why I like darkness. It might just be that a little light in the dark can have so much power. I’m sure that’s one reason, but I’m also sure there’s so many other reasons.

I just like the dark.

In the case, it’s just another bud on a tree branch, the kind you see everywhere, this time of year, but it feels powerful standing out against the dark.
