Why are some spots bare

And others still snow covered?

Unsolved mystery

2-27-2021

 

A foggy drizzle

Descends upon ice and snow

White on white on white

2-26-2021

 

My boots crunch and slosh

Robins tweet, geese honk, sun sets

A hush of color

2-25-2021

 

Pockets of puddles

Rings of bare earth around trees

Where the snow recedes

2-24-2021

 

Long winter shadows

Paint a black and white forest

On canvas of snow

2-23-2021

 

Birch tree has new buds

Miraculously living

It fell months ago

2-22-2021

 

I feel some rain drops 

And spy a few stray snowflakes 

Then the sky spits ice

2-21-2021

 

The landscape sparkles

A diamond studded carpet

Of glittery snow

2-18-2021

 

Wood stork balances.

Owl hoots. Crabs scurry and hide.

Marsh life flourishes.

2-17-2021

 

Tall bald cypress trees 

Grow right out of the water 

In the rich, green swamp

2-16-2021

 

Black vulture above

Roosting high on a dead tree

I walk under it 

2-15-2021

 

Glowing pink lichen,

Spanish moss, and flowing ferns

Trees dress different here

2-12-21

 

Silver maple tree

Puts forth buds, ready for spring

In dead of winter

2-11-2021

 

In the quiet woods

Fresh footprints of a yeti

Left by my snowshoes

2-10-2021

 

The sun catches snow

Falling from trees and turns it

Into fairy dust

2-9-2021

 

It’s snowing again

Small, steady snowflakes fall fast

And tickle my face

2-8-2021

 

Vanilla glazed pines

On heaps of powdered sugar 

A sweet snowy trail

2-7-2021

 

Tree trunks are dressed up

In green and white polka dots

Of lichen and snow

2-6-2021

 

Whipping wind, snow, ice

An Arctic expedition 

But for swans and sun

2-5-2021

 

Seeds scattered on snow

Dark stars in a bright white sky

Where did they come from?

2-4-2021

 

Clinging to a tree

Far from the sea, a seahorse

Nature's snow sculpture

2-3-2021

 

Just me breathing in

The beauty of these white woods

Calm after the storm

2-2-2021

 

A foot and a half

I sank in up to my knees

Time to buy snowshoes

2-1-2021

 

Am I the only 

Soul out as the nor’easter 

Rolls in? I guess not.
