A Snowy Day

overnight snow
contrasts with the junkos
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.

the blooms always find a way
life is beyond spring

Some thoughts this winter’s morning. I hope you’re warm and safe.

A Pluviophile’s Delight

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 cafรฉ, 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.

a quick glimpse down

captures magic


I caught sight of this leaf while walking back to my car. I captured this photo with my Samsung S9. Quite impressive for a rather obsolete camera, at this point.

upon the path

moments of life in motion

through winter air

A Moment Of Blue Sky

blue sky peeking through
swallowed quickly by the clouds
whispers of springtime

Saw a moment of blue sky above the trees. I actually wore my sunglasses briefly on today’s walk. Seattle’s winter has reclaimed the sky, though. Yet, rest assured, spring approaches.

January Flowers

in the light of dawn

this bitter bite of winter

balancing with grace

The winter air has a substantive bite. Our weather reports hinted at snow, January marching into February. Yet, even in this time of cold, of darkness, flowers grace life with reminders that spring approaches.
