Snow Squall

Sitting at my desk
soft flakes began floating by the window.
It quickly changed to a short-lived squall.
If it were summer, i suppose it would be a called a cloud-burst.


The mob of flakes swirled this way and that past and toward my window

Snow Caps

This is what happens when a lovely, fluffy snow falls
and there is no wind

On a cold and sunny day

Icicles form, filling the windows.

Amazing to think they are simply thousands of drops, caught before they fall

February 23rd

When i was at Greenwood
-oh, my goodness--it was 3 weeks ago already
there was only a light covering of snow
nonetheless
the sun and sycamores splashed lovely calligraphy
in the grand allee

 

and the dark, giant spruce
cast pools of delicate shadows
that danced in the breeze
as always, you may view larger versions, if you like, by clicking on a photo

January 3rd

more snow
then rain
*sigh*
makes for a shiny-white
if treacherous to navigate
landscape

December 9th

the light on this small portion of a
snow drift is
in my eyes
transformed into an entire landscape...
a range of mountains
or maybe pure white sand dunes

last night we were blessed with
12 more inches
of the gorgeous fluffy stuff
