mists flowing through trees
moisture upon the petals
dreaming of the sun
poetry, prose, and photography

mists flowing through trees
moisture upon the petals
dreaming of the sun

feet moving southwards
a moment free of traffic
memories of the road
Today’s Word of the Day Challenge is Traffic. I took the photo above on one of last week’s daily walks. Memories of long-ago road trips. That moment of breaking free from the urban, of the slog of traffic, facing the freedom, and cruelty, of the road. Washington and Oregon’s backroads, where one goes for miles without seeing other cars. When you do, only the briefest intersection, a burst of rushing wind, abruptly quieting to nothing. Only my engine’s hum remains.

kissed by the sunlight
dancing upon the spring breeze
the arc of petals

snoozing through winter
slowly awakening
morning’s gentle rain
Today’s “Word of the Day Challenge” is Snooze. These words came while watching rhododendron blooms slowly come to life this week.
upon the spring breeze
blossoms gracefully dancing
within the sunlight

moment of sunlight
gentle breeze against the sky
now the calm of night
I took this photo while trying to capture a bee dancing vigorously between the blooms. She was much too fast for my photo, sadly. Yet it was a lovely moment.
