this back road drive
past so many places
along the way
what is it in these hills
just beyond my reach

 

brook beside our house with Late afternoon sun sparkling .. parts of the creek are still frozen and the open water goes under ice in places but was running nicely this afternoon... 3-19-
clouds covered it but were just thin enough that you could look right at the disc of the sun which looked quite a bit like the moon...3-19-17
