Snow mocks schedules –
compromises plans

Leaves icy fingers to taunt
paints the world anew.

Pictures are gorgeous. You are so right. Snow changes things. we did not get the snow predicted for us. Had everything ready for the fireplace but had open doors instead. So not getting snow you prepare for changes things also. 😀

I also love the photo of the cold mallard, V. J. ❤ It always surprises me how hardy birds are to survive extreme winter weather.

  Guess we’ll have to train ourselves to admire it, so we don’t get bogged down by it.

Cryptic

Is the writing on the wall so cryptic?Graphic images depict rageflames of dissonanceyoung men bleeding at their own handscompassion incapacitated. A sad awakening for a society fixatedon rights and privileges, dominating culture excluding the nurtureof humanity, or preservation of life. How can we continue to closet our children’s pain – their vitality oozing – hopelessly […]

Needing a Sign

Restlessness accompanies meon this sojourn today –unfazed by ripe redbelly of robin,or shimmering emeraldof breeding merganser’s crown. My lens seeks out decay –rotting wood, darkened cavities,as if my soul craves reassurancethat life persists even where deathhovers – I need a sign Discontent, I move on-drive the river roadsnail’s pace – praying forsomething to shakethis malaise […]

Peace is Present

Infernal trek!Wasted, mindless daysthese chains of self-reproach Will I never reachyearned for peace? Carry this burdeninto the wind,feet shufflingeyes skyward Stalwart treesobserve my passage,birds offer accompaniment,sun’s warmth charms Nature intervenes –peace is present. (My image)
