Daily Haiku
winter moves forward 
gently, gently towards the spring
already hints abound

Went for a walk this afternoon and saw this bud on a tree. Seems a bit premature, but trees are not logic based creatures.

Winter’s Motion

sunlight climbing through the sky
crocuses blooming

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.

Awoke to Birdsong

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

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!

Blessings of the Pines

Hint’s Of Spring

in the winter sunlight
hints of spring awake

Took the featured image while on my walk today in downtown Edmonds (WA).

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!

wheels turning as I ride
motion in silence

A Saturday Snowfall

Snowfall in Lynnwood

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.
