A mind full of thoughts
Caused loss of sleep, I wake early.
Beautiful sunrise!

Winter’s Snowfall
Snow!
So white!
Lightly falling
On the meadow,
Covering the walkway.
Children excitedly shout
“Snow Day!” as schools choose to close.
Traffic slowly moves on the highway.
It’s amazing how snow changes our lives,
And it’s just tiny snowflakes stuck together!

You’ve Never Seen a Snowflake in This Much Detail!
Photographer Alexey Kljatov has captured a breathtaking collection of magnified flakes
Nature’s Captive
Foggy
White mist surrounds
Silencing nearly all sounds
I struggle to keep within bounds
White line
Tail lights
These help me to focus and see
I move slowly as can be
Want to be free

Starlight
Midnight
Cold December night
A single star shines bright
I give thanks for its sparkling light

Mt. Hood
Majestic
Snow capped mountain rises
Before me.
Awestruck!
I never cease to be amazed
At the sight of it.

Thankful
Walking though the leaves
On this gorgeous day of Fall
I pause and give thanks
For the trees and their beauty
For my eyes that I can see

The Sounds of Fall
Ah, the sounds of Fall.
Birds gathering to fly south,
Chatter as they flock,
And the trees rustle their leaves,
In tune with the wind’s music.

Sensing the Season
Beautiful fall day
Artistically painted trees
In various hues
Beckon me to pause awhile
And my five senses rejoice

A Ray of Hope
A double rainbow
Ray of hope amid the storm
Sunshine stopped the rain

Out of the Cold
Dark chilly Fall night
Time to light the fireplace
Warmth enters the room
I give thanks that I am home
I pray for those who aren’t
