with the clouds drifting eastward

Hints of Spring
as crocuses bloom
February nearly done
the air still quite cool
Flowers are pushing their way above the soil. Yet most of the trees remain barren. But one I saw today has a riot of small blossoms. Change continues, as it does.
Haiku Response To Today’s FOWC
one upon the wire
the crow’s colleague in the trash

Friday Morning Haiku
spring flowers awake
striving for the blessed sun
such problems they solve
Awoke to Birdsong
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
surprised by sunlight
after so much morning rain
this lightness of being
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!
Blessings of the Pines
amongst the trees
blessings of the pines
drifting on sunlight
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
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!
