A young pine tree stands upright in an open field as frost forms along its needles. Surrounding grasses are flattened by wind and snow, showing uneven early winter conditions.

Winter reaches the field unevenly. The grass collapses early, but a single pine holds its form, frost collecting on its needles before the deeper cold settles in.

Sandhill cranes landing in a harvested field at sunrise, soft golden light illuminating hay bales and stubble across the prairie.

At sunrise they fall—
grey wings folding into amber,
among the stubble of harvest past.
