Weathering the Storm

 

 

A Trumpetor of a Day

 

This is the only Trump

aloud on my blog.

 

 



Upside Down

 

White Breasted Nuthatch

 

 



A Longing

 

A Longing

to be in our garden again.

Rich smell of earth

and a fight to keep fingernails clean

Fresh Garden greens

Colour as far as the eye can see

Our yard so full of life...

Alas its the middle of a long winter

Snow banks cover what's to come

patience is the word.

 

 

 

 



Lost & Found

 

If you have lost a pair

of glasses

They now reside in an alder tree

beside the hiking path

at the Wilson Falls trail

east side of the dam

 

 

 



Fire & Ice 2017

 

A winter festival

that includes making a large

part of our main street

a toboggan run .

 

another title here

could have been

"That's enough, I'm done!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

"That's it!, I'm out of here"

February Melancholy

 

The back 40 in February

 

 



Winter Plumage

 

American Goldfinch

 

In winter plumage

gone are the males bright yellow jacket

with little black cap

Now they dress like the ladies

Still there is much beauty in those winter coats

 

 

 



January Sunset 2017

Our back 40

Imerced in a January

evening glow



South Muskoka to Wilson Falls

Winter Wind

Cold

Quiet

Just the mournful call

of the winter wind

A wind not felt

A wind only heard

Like a hum in your head

A desolate composition

Played over and over 

Again

Passing the Torch

A Happy New Year

To those who view and enjoy

my passion

Up the Creek

 

A quiet stroll

Up the Creek

water so slow it makes no sound

Birds bring the woods to life

soft warm sunlight spark the colours

in my mind

A place so tranquil...

I may never leave

for it is the
