1679. momentum

 

slowly- now quickly

the blank winter woods fills up

going, going green! 🦊❤️

Just a couple of days ago I said, “Look - the trees are starting to pop!” Today I said, “Boom! Look at all of that green exploding!”  The momentum of spring has been unleashed… 🦊❤️

henrietta cat 

mr. rogers favorite kitty

never out of style 🦊❤️

henrietta cat

lives in a make believe clock

because she’s timeless 🦊❤️

My television watching tastes have become almost completely detached from the current reality of the world.  Pluto TV has a Mr. Rogers channel and it is the ultimate tranquilizer in my case.  While I love all of the characters, Henrietta is my “meow meow” fave.  🦊❤️

1677. patience

 

sitting patiently

waiting to spread its roots deep

in the rich brown earth 🦊❤️

The community garden near my apartment is bustling with activity! Gardeners are raking, tilling, and putting up fences. I could not resist taking a photograph of a potted flower sitting on a chair waiting to be planted! Happy growing little flower! 🦊❤️

1676. eyes of a hunter

when his eyes met mine

i felt a chill enter me

and i looked away 🦊❤️

 Yesterday as I was walking on a trail, a Red Tailed Hawk crashed through the brush and perched on a low hanging limb. I got close and made weird sounds to get its attention so I could get a good shot of its face. When I succeeded, our eyes locked and in that moment I felt a  chill up my spine and had to look away! So much for getting its attention. 🦊❤️

1675. wisdom of water

 

ripples in the creek

stirring up the froth and foam

the flow moves them on🦊❤️

Creeks, streams, rivers, ponds, lakes and oceans are overflowing with the things that are fine analogies for life and living. 🦊❤️

1674. snow?

 

is that snow i see?

no way on such a warm day

it’s just milkweed 🦊❤️

Yesterday it was glorious in the meadow. We stood and watched a snowstorm of milkweed “Santas” be carried away by the wind. 🦊❤️

1673. achoo achoo

 

it’s the time of year

that car windshields turn yellow

and “achoos” abound 🦊❤️

As I walked outside after a rainy night, I noticed that all of the puddles on the parking lot had become “pollen pools”. Its time to make sure that there is plenty of windshield washer fluid in the car and lots of Kleenex in the apartment.  Achoooo! 🦊❤️
