Sunset: January 22, 2011

Sun closes in on the horizon, changes from amber to gray.
Chill blows waves in the river.
Five birds fly in a V
The path to sunset

Moon Set/ Sunrise January 19, 2011

Today's Moon Set: a gallant gentlemen, tucking the darkness in his jacket pocket as the ingenue sunrise whispered, "Wait!" #aros

Once Seen, there was no choice

Once seen, there was no choice ~ Feet pushing gravel, camera in hand,  

One question alone:

how many photos would be taken while the tank got its fill?

January 15: A River of Stones in the Fog

low resting fog stands
grey flecks on a table cloth
coffee warms my mouth

Nature Journaling on Alta Vista Drive ~ #aros on 1/14/2011

Sketch Walk Sketch Walk Walk
This bud will flower in weeks
Watch: I'll draw its growth ~

I have started keeping a nature journal, well, loosely.

I seem to be most consistent in tracking the sunrise or sunset, though I have also attempted to sketch the nature in my neighborhood.

Most importantly, I enjoy the heck out of it and am devoted to learning the names of my neighborhood natural life...

Conversing with Birds

The Adult Me Never That Is...
Until my renewal walk, today
Conversed with my neighbor birds
In their native whistle-tongue
How do I write their phrase
seee seeee sawwwww
seee seeee sawwwww
So you may hear it too?

I said,
"see seee sawwwwww"
and he bantered back
"see seee sawwwwww"
and eventually showed
himself to me....

Bridge

Hole marks incomplete
Live ~ "My love, you are a bridge..."
This new year calls me....
