Sunlight through the rain

breaking through the rain
sunlight’s grace moves through the trees
birds dance on the wind

Cherry Blossoms

ah, cherry blossoms!
all the beauty of springtime
encapsulated

I try to walk every day. During those walks, I seek out signs of the seasons, of change, of life’s patterns. Lately, I’ve searched for signs of spring. Crocuses, daffodils, lilies, and now cherry blossoms.

Signs of Spring

and the regalness of trees

caressing the sky


Signs of spring grow. Blossoms forming on trees, daffodils upright, crocuses tall. Soon the cherry trees will regale us with their yearly show. One all to brief, thus we must take the time to watch.

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.
