Snow Bunting

Winters Bird
He will fly north soon
as Spring is on his heels.
He has brightened many a cold day,
and he will return
but another season away

If they could sing,

Vintage Light

Life like a Rose

Life like a rose

you grow and flourish

mature and bloom

put on a show

then fade

slowly

from the outside in
at all times
beautiful

Homage for Ansel

 

A belated birthday wish

to the original master

of the landscape.

Just back to Capistrano?

Curling Teams

 

Curling is a skill game,

with a social calling

that be may be the reason that

we are all a little crazy?

 

However we are Canucks

and we are very passionate

about our game!

5 times as many people

Curl than play hockey

see you at the Bonspeil!

 

 



Out of Season

In My Dream of Spring

I wonder if the sap

is stirring

If wintry birds are dreaming

of a mate

If frozen snow drops feel as yet

the sun

and crocus fires are kindling

one by one

~Christina G. Rossetti

Windshield, life without a garage

Winter Blade

So cold

well below zero

so cold

Ice sharp that cuts

so cold

Freeze a brass monkeys nuts!
