winter’s grip loosening
with the clouds drifting eastward
wonder of birdsong

Hints of Spring

February 28, 2021 Carl Setzer1 Comment

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.

one upon the wire
the crow’s colleague in the trash
staunchest of allies

Awoke to Birdsong

February 24, 2021 Carl Setzer1 Comment

awoke to birdsong
slowly the sun rises
hinting at springtime

The birds were quite boisterous this morning. Looks like spring is nearly here. Though this hasn’t been that burial of a winter around here, I am ready for spring. Are you?

Winter Berries

February 22, 2021 Carl Setzer
Elderberries

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!

through the cold air
in the winter sunlight
hints of spring awake

Moonlight’s Grace

Moonlight

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!
