through the cold air
in the winter sunlight
hints of spring awake
Took the featured image while on my walk today in downtown Edmonds (WA).
poetry, prose, and photography

remnants of the snow
melting into graceless slush
an slowing my walk
The air warms, now above freezing, so the snow melts, but slowly. Puddles, painfully cold, especially as my boots are now worn and leaky. Soggy socks rob joy. Tomorrow, the air warms significantly, and with it rain. I expect that by noon the only hints of the snowfall will be photographs and, perhaps, clothes drying in mud-rooms.
This photo is one I took near my home on a walk this afternoon, the font Source Sans Pro, created with Adobe Spark.

watching the sunset
I hope your Valentines Day is everything you hope for and need.

snow falling
memories: moments of cheer
delights of childhood
Snow isn’t quite a joyous a thing as an adult as I found it as a child. Yet the echoes remain.
This is my contribution to today’s Word of the Day challenge, with today’s word “cheery”. I took a little liberty with “cheery”. I hope it cheers you, at least.

upon this first snow
a group of robins gather
a first sign of spring
Though there was snow on the ground this morning, it was mostly gone by early afternoon. Then, during my afternoon walk, I saw a group of robins rummaging through the fallen leaves. Winter may be in place now, but spring cannot be stopped!

overnight snow
contrasts with the junkos
dusting the grass
It snowed overnight in the Seattle area. Just enough to cover the grass but not bury it. Tis quite cold this morning.

even in winter
the blooms always find a way
life is beyond spring

Some thoughts this winter’s morning. I hope you’re warm and safe.
