Light in the Darkness

For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, the longest night of the year has passed and along with it, all the holidays and celebration times, and now comes the time of darkness and cold, as we wait for the longer, warmer days of summer.  Our latest challenge reflects that time, our search for the Light in the Darkness.

First, a little something "light" to keep you warm through those long "dark" winter nights...
