Fall’s Final Day
Winter’s Eve
Rains gently falling
Removing
Restoring
Green carpet appears again
White blanket melts
Shadorma
Thru the Fog
On the horizon
Creator’s beauty revealed
White mist hovering
Haiku
Westward Ways
On the Oregon Trail
Seeking freedom, land, and gold
Immigrants migrate
Haiku
Captivating
Eyecatching moment
Flash of color at day’s end
Sunset thru the trees

Squirrley Selfie
A bigfoot squirrel
Searching in the night
Morning evidence
Reveals his prints in the snow
Watercolor paints his image

Painting created by me from actual photo of squirrel’s hind footprint. Squirrel visited my patio in the night and left his tracks in the snow. I took a picture of the tracks to look up what they were. Then I also happened to see “Squirrel Footprint Art” on Pinterest which inspired me to create this painting.😊
Animal Tracks
Morning light reveals
A nightime visitor
Footprints in the snow

I wasn’t quite sure just who this visitor was so I checked online and matched the tracks to a Squirrrel. Quite interesting that they have 4 font toes and 5 back toes.
Squirrel Footprint Art on Pinterest maybe I will get creative and give that a try! 😊
Fall Blizzard
Weather frightful
Not a pretty sight
Snow falling
Unexpected
People trapped in traffic
And kids stuck at school
Shadorma
Winter has returned with a vengeance here in the Pacific Northwest. Very unusual weather for us in the Willamette Valley.
December Rose
Like a candle flame
Boldly burning in the cold
A vision of warmth
Til Spring shall come to touch
That which is frozen in time
Tanka
Dreamin’
In a
Gingerbread House
My life is oh so sweet
On Candy Cane Lane, where
Gumdrops
Stuck in gooey icing so Royal,
And dancing Sugarplums
Everyday
Delight!

Happy #GingerbreadHouseDay
