Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

upstate
4 to 8 comin' -
here, mostly rain

there's just something pure & honest about an animal's affection...

winter stirs
like a dying beast
lashing out

I like the unexpected dash of subtle color in #1 - draws your eye to it immediately

thanks, Doreen - glad you found something to like!

moonlight
the smell of balsam
finding something you thought you'd lost
the *snap* of the carabiner clipping the water bottle to my belt
a long-overdue haircut
fresh bedsheets

 
will this one do?
   

(thanks for the Yea)
 

thanks - it's a beautiful time of year, but I really am ready for it to move on

  waking up to an inch of snow when the NWS was calling for 4-8 a clean shave - stubble-free, even beside the Adam's apple that first sip of morning coffee - hot, black, no sugar the last shovelful of snow clearing the approach to your mailbox feeding chickadees by hand the sound of peepers the firs...

and some think truth is a piece of lumber they can cut to fit in whatever fun house theyre throwing together for the sole purpose of convincing you that their version of reality is worth paying them for. Enough is never enough....

hope to see more of you here

Yesterday it was 84.
Today 35, and more
Oh no! No jive! Snow!

84...
holy crap...
w'eve yet to clear 60...
soon enough, I suppose

yesterday
at the bottom of the hill
had to take off a layer
for the trip back up

yesterday
the icicles reached to the ground
today
they just lie there

yesterday
the road was ice
today
it's mud

yesterday
I walked to stay warm
today
I pause to stay cool

 
if only I'd hit Save first!
