Winter Berries
winter bares food, too
and the birds know where to seek
so life continues
Found these berries on a recent walk. Summer, of course, bursts with live giving foods for all. Winter, it seems, is more stealthy. But food is present!

Hint’s Of Spring
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).
Moonlight’s Grace

dancing downwards through the firs
boughs move in the breeze
This photo was shot on my Samsung S9 last night. I am quite pleased with this. Amazing what we can do with our phones!
Ride: A Haiku

wheels turning as I ride
motion in silence
Remnants of the Snow
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.
A Valentines Day Haiku
romances evolve
old man and woman hold hands
watching the sunset
I hope your Valentines Day is everything you hope for and need.
A Saturday Snowfall
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.
Signs of Spring
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!
