–I know I just used this photo for Monochrome Monday, but we are currently experiencing Second Winter, so I couldn’t help myself.
Six Word Stories 4/9/22
obstacles (tanka)
when we encounter
obstacles to our growth,
we must be like trees–
either dig right into them
or find a way around them

Look Up (archives)
Beyond our
Earthen carousel,
The stars,
In vast array,
Light up
Our cosmic carnival–
The twinkling
Milky Way.
The fairway
Teems with stars,
Perhaps
Five hundred
Billion strong;
Look up
And see the galaxy–
It’s open
All night long!

Botched Shots for April Fools
When I’m out in the field, clicking away, sometimes the shot ends up somewhere between bad photography and accidental art.

Limerick 35
A self-centered woodchuck named Ben
Stays aloof from his ex-girlfriend,
But if it’s time to mate,
He will not hesitate
To just let himself in to her den

haiku 117
huge, fighting eagles
may leave prized feathers behind
i’ll come back–later

Snowmelt
If romance has its time and place, this is it. My new backyard pool offers couples a picturesque setting for love.
However, it’s not always paradise; this goose is getting an earful after scoping out a beautiful swan.
I consider myself lucky; most of the farmer’s fields around here look like lakes, but the dust will be blowing around soon enough.
It’s been a long, colorless winter, and I am so looking forward to better opportunities for photos!
