Late Winter afternoon at four o’clock
The sun was rushing off to bed
Where pillowed clouds received it
As it sank to rest.
Five seagulls following the light
Pursued the fading glory in the west,
White arrows in the darkening sky
Following the sun.
Separate and solitary
A single bird made haste
In purposeful pursuit
Fleeing the darkness.
He soared and swooped from side to side,
Powerful, carefree flight
Until six birds vanished
In the Winter sunset.
It's winter, but without snow, just a few degrees below zero. Enough to get a bit of frost. Temporally ice art, as soon as the sun touches it, it's gone.........
Walking among snow-covered trees was magical. I was out in the forests a couple of times before all the snow melted and took a lot of photos.

Just back from a quick trip to Grand Teton National Park. It was so beautiful there. However, it only stopped snowing for short periods. We only saw the sun for a couple of hours in 4 days! The mountains never fully showed themselves. But it was fantastic! The wildlife was everywhere and the snow was incredible. In many places such as this, the snow was really to high for me to see over if I wasn't in the truck. Here I kind of put the camera over the mound of snow and prayed I would be able to get it while standing on my tippy toes. It was a true winter wonderland. Just what I was hoping for.
Will catch up with everyone as fast as I can. Can't wait to see what I missed. Hope you are all having a wonderful week!
Winter solitude –
in a world of one color
the sound of wind.

It's that time again :) When winter days are brooding and dark, I look outside and my magical Witch Hazel is blooming again to bring cheer to January days in my garden. The rhythms of nature are so comforting when all around seems chaotic and depressing. I treasure this weird and magical flower!
