moonlight’s grace
dancing downwards through the firs
boughs move in the breeze
This photo was shot on my Samsung S9 last night. I am quite pleased with this. Amazing what we can do with our phones!

Ride: A Haiku

wheels turning as I ride
motion in silence
Remnants of the Snow
remnants of the snow
melting into graceless slush
an slowing my walk
The air warms, now above freezing, so the snow melts, but slowly. Puddles, painfully cold, especially as my boots are now worn and leaky. Soggy socks rob joy. Tomorrow, the air warms significantly, and with it rain. I expect that by noon the only hints of the snowfall will be photographs and, perhaps, clothes drying in mud-rooms.
This photo is one I took near my home on a walk this afternoon, the font Source Sans Pro, created with Adobe Spark.
5 Jobs I’ve Had
On Twitter last week someone asked everyone to list “5 Jobs You’ve Had”. This is a random list of jobs, basically just what popped into my head.
- Construction permitting coordinator
- Media coordinator
- Executive assistant
- Church office manager
- Realtor
Just 5 of many (take a look at my resume if you want to see more). Each one a piece of who I am now.
A Valentines Day Haiku
romances evolve

I hope your Valentines Day is everything you hope for and need.
A Saturday Snowfall
snow falling
memories: moments of cheer
delights of childhood
Snow isn’t quite a joyous a thing as an adult as I found it as a child. Yet the echoes remain.
This is my contribution to today’s Word of the Day challenge, with today’s word “cheery”. I took a little liberty with “cheery”. I hope it cheers you, at least.
Signs of Spring

a group of robins gather
a first sign of spring
Though there was snow on the ground this morning, it was mostly gone by early afternoon. Then, during my afternoon walk, I saw a group of robins rummaging through the fallen leaves. Winter may be in place now, but spring cannot be stopped!
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.
Today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Bloom

Valuable Coding and IT Tools
As an Information System student, there are a handful of tools recommended to me by my instructors that have been critical. Every one of the tools below is free. Anyway, here’s my list:
- Notepad ++: a richly powerful text editor. It’s what I’ve done most of my HTML and CSS in, and what I’ve done a lot of my JavaScript. I have shifted, though, back to Visual Studio, at least for now. I used Visual Studio for my Visual Basic class, so I’m pretty familiar with it.
- 7 Zip is a great Zip file tool.
- Agent Ransack, which boosts your PC’s search utility.
- Winmerge: a great tool for comparing files. It has helped me a few times to find that one damn character I was missing.
Anyway, what tools do you use? That you find indispensable?
