First frost we are plotting –
elaborate schemes to escape
winter’s unforgiving chill.
Palm trees and blue waters,
the flight of parading pelicans –
such allure for aging Northerners.
Years past, we have travelled far –
Europe, Scandinavia, and Mediterranean –
this season, Texas has captured our hearts.
(For Lens-Artists challenge: my travels.)

Some times local is better. Enjoy! When are you going?
