Breaking fast
They started the day Taking time to enjoy the sun’s warmth Where the sparkling river enters the city For the first time they espied pelicans at this spot Floating with the current Seeing who could cross the finish line firstBefore swimming or flying back to the starting line

Warming weather transforms
Melting more of winters grip

Before and after post
Beauty in all stages of life

And just when you thought Sun had the upper hand
Not willing to fold, Old North Wind blew strong
Just to remind all that Winter still had it’s hand in the game
And trying it’s best to win with the cards dealt
So Spring took a break to dream of things needed doing

Before and after pictures are all the rage for people losing things
What about gaining things?

That in between season

Setting off early on roads thought to be clear
Lights from following car shine on the ice
Sun’s rising light captured in the mirror
Escaped colouring the horizon
Still sun’s warmth was not yet enough and
Snow drifts claimed parts of the road

Puzzling day today. Laundry started and forgotten until puzzle done.

This is a story of determination
See the goal
Plan for acquisition
Implement plan
Repeat until sated

While the world is being run into the ground over one man’s ego
And many sycophantic power pursuers
Love your neighbours so that love blooms around the world

The sky was blanketed with cloud
But just in case the cover thinned
And the lunar eclipse’s light coloured the cloud
She aimed the camera in the direction the moon had passed the night before
Alas no luck with the moon
But the prayer plant was recorded
Being moved by the dawn

When the urge to go to a garden nursery hits,
it doesn’t matter that the weather says
“Stay home”

Get these every spring for the planters

It looked like he definitely touched the granite. I want to know what difference it would make.

This was the only bright colour of the day . . .
And all the forewarned fog forecast failed to foil the drive
Phew

Red Rio Grapefruit bloom

Jasmine Bloom

Green leaves with sun shining through

Needing some nourishment
They went to The Leaf
Aromas and colours and sunlight enveloped them
While they munched their edibles
And imbibed their libations

One is waiting and wanting
Warmer weather
But it comes with a strong south wind and snow
Carving and sculpting
Filling in tracks crisscrossing the yard
Leaving one to wonder
At the beauty of nature

Between sunset and clouds rolling in
Moon’s slivered light shone bright
For those who looked up
and even for those who did not
The light was there for all
