Moonlight’s Grace

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!

A Saturday Snowfall

Snowfall in Lynnwood

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

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!

A Snowy Day

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.

A Pluviophile’s Delight

rain is predicted
delights pluviophiles
Seattle winters

As a live-long Seattleite, I hold a certain fondness for rain. One tempered with topical annoyance, and occasional despair. Yet, for the most part, I enjoy rain. The sound upon my roof. Watching the rain from a street-side café, listening to jazz. So much of my life revolves around liquid precipitation.

Rain will soon Fall

rain will soon fall
I will feel the warmth
of memories

Posted this earlier today on my Instagram feed. I wanted to share it with you, too.
