resisting waking
sunlight reaches my window
life keeps on moving
Another morning, life keeps moving. Onwards…

I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.
Under the Clouds
set under the clouds
my city moves through the rain
while fueled by coffee
A rainy day here, just north of Seattle. One that brings me memories of northwestern Oregon. The winter rains in Astoria where my feet were my main mode of transportation. I guess that came from the heavy weight of the rain drops along with their coldness.
Created with Adobe Spark.
Newness
winter’s grip loosening
with the clouds drifting eastward
wonder of birdsong
Hints of Spring
as crocuses bloom
February nearly done
the air still quite cool
Flowers are pushing their way above the soil. Yet most of the trees remain barren. But one I saw today has a riot of small blossoms. Change continues, as it does.

Surprised By Sunlight
surprised by sunlight
after so much morning rain
this lightness of being
Winter Berries
winter bares food, too
and the birds know where to seek
so life continues
Found these berries on a recent walk. Summer, of course, bursts with live giving foods for all. Winter, it seems, is more stealthy. But food is present!
Blessings of the Pines
amongst the trees
blessings of the pines
drifting on sunlight
Hint’s Of Spring
through the cold air
in the winter sunlight
hints of spring awake
Took the featured image while on my walk today in downtown Edmonds (WA).
Moonlight’s Grace
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!
