Returning Cold
in plant pot
frozen rain water,
poor stray cats!

Roost
On this winter evening, at the approach of dusk. A cloud of tiny birds doing figure-eights above the bustling traffic. Then they came to roost.

First Snow
teetering on young leaves
of the butterfly bush,
small piles of first snow

Catching Raindrops
As winter gray rules the sky, a young family walks quickly down the sidewalk, Anxious to retreat from looming rain. First drops make contact – mom’s footsteps quicken. Facinated by the fat splat to his forehead the toddler breaks the pace.
arms outstretched
palms skyward,
a new distraction
catching raindrops –
the razzle dazzle
of it all!

Off the Pier
Autumn nestles amidst winter. They’re working it out.

Shortest Day
As we drove home from our escape to the mountains this evening, we noted the throng of pedestrians walking onto the Brooklyn Bridge. The setting sun was the draw. That huge setting sun was a blaze of orange, just sitting at the waters edge. This made for specular views on approach to the bridge while driving. I have never noticed the sun this size before. Too busy not looking up, I guess. I’m not sure what caused it, but it was a sight to behold three days before Christmas!

lolls in evening sky-

Wicked Winds
wicked winds stir up
mundane dry leaves in the yard –
lively waves begin

Soul Soothing
the view up the creek
offers a beauty that dwells
in this bend of the creek
rhythm in the mountain air
unwavering – soul soothing
