Everything is so drab around here mid-winter, I decided to post a few clicks from last fall.

witches tremble when

strangely colored mists roll in–

the great wizard nears!

witches know that spells do work,

but the great wizard knows why

I was shooting a mallard until

I lost footing and took quite a spill

And I don’t know why

The duck didn’t fly

But he had quite a smirk on his bill

Shot of the Day 1/31/21

The sun is really trying today, but a rare thermal inversion layer is keeping the colder air trapped near the ground. Just what we need.

but a dream

when space itself dreams

the worlds appear

and i know it seems

that you’re really here

but hold down your weeping

for we must adhere

to keeping it sleeping

or we’ll disappear

Haibun: Breaking Trail

It’s very nice out here in the woods today. I can’t believe how warm it is for January, and we really haven’t had that much snow, either.

I’m just strolling along, enjoying the day.

Beautiful, golden sunlight is filtering down through the trees ahead, and casting long thin shadows across the as-of-yet unspoiled road. I almost hate to walk down it, it’s so…untouched. But I hear approaching snowmobiles, and they’ll be certain to ruin the moment, anyway.

in the sun and snow

i feel like i’m walking

on soft, fluffy clouds
