poetry, prose, and photography
awoke to birdsong
slowly the sun rises
hinting at springtime
The birds were quite boisterous this morning. Looks like spring is nearly here. Though this hasn’t been that burial of a winter around here, I am ready for spring. Are you?
surprised by sunlight
after so much morning rain
this lightness of being
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!
amongst the trees
blessings of the pines
drifting on sunlight
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!
in cool winter’s rain
wheels turning as I ride
motion in silence
romances evolve
old man and woman hold hands
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!
