Underneath Sunlight


underneath sunlight
springtime’s grace flows through the firs
still need my jacket


Today’s sunlight was very welcome. I’ve been fighting some kind of “bug” since Tuesday night. The worst was Wednesday, but I’m still lacking energy. I was able to get a walk in this after, and get plenty of school stuff done, but I’m now wiped out. I expect to be near 100% by tomorrow, though.

Through the Rainfall

through the rainfall
as it changes to snow
the birds now confused

Found this blossom during my walk the other day. More signs that spring is almost here. Yet today we had rain, wind, snow and hail. It was quite a day, weather – wise.

Under the Clouds

set under the clouds
my city moves through the rain
while fueled by coffee


A rainy day here, just north of Seattle. One that brings me memories of northwestern Oregon. The winter rains in Astoria where my feet were my main mode of transportation. I guess that came from the heavy weight of the rain drops along with their coldness.

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 hasnโ€™t been that burial of a winter around here, I am ready for spring. Are you?

Surprised By Sunlight

Afternoon Sunlight


surprised by sunlight
after so much morning rain
this lightness of being

Winter Berries

Elderberries

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!
