Beyond Clothed Trees

Did you hear it? Did you see?

What hides amongst clothed trees

Wind whipped branches striped of leaves

Let’s us peek through unclothed trees

Near the ground out of sight Ready for a long cold night

One last leaf swirling round – CAUGHT

The Last to Leave

The drone of night creatures is silent now

I awake to a world encrusted in minute ice crystals that disappear under a rising sun

Like a thief in the night they deplume old growth tress and pillage fields of their springtime greenery

Day Trippin’

With a slight change in job description and a new data collection program my focus took a right angle turn away from blogging.

Persistence and helpful coworkers have helped me through the quagmire and back onto the blogging path!

To celebrate equilibrium Daniel and I spent the day in Lancaster County amidst Mennonite farms and Amish plant nurseries.
