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

winter blue
composing myself
for now …

 

Ithaca Falls looked today...1-28-15--
Wind sculpted snow just off Cayuga Lake in Stewart Park 1-28-15... and a bike tread and a footstep of snow left stuck on the paved path...
Wind sculpted snow just off Cayuga Lake in Stewart Park 1-28-15... ..and a little snow person out on the ice...
Wind sculpted snow just off Cayuga Lake in Stewart Park 1-28-15...
Willow in the wind at Stewart Park today-1-28-15... the breeze coming off the lake was really intensely cold but there were ice fishermen out there and two people flying gigantic kites-
Ice on the gorge wall near Ithaca Falls 1-28-15--
Ithaca Falls 1-28-15--
Ithaca Falls 1-28-15..
Ithaca Falls 1-28-15.
Wind sculpted snow just off Cayuga Lake in Stewart Park 1-28-15... and a bike tread
Wind sculpted snow just off Cayuga Lake in Stewart Park 1-28-15... and a footstep of snow left stuck on the paved path...
near zero- just rabbits and crows...

a few moments
to contemplate …
what winter means

 

 

cattail frozen into the pond ice
winter coat by the falls
winter red berries
winter sculpture
winter on Cascadilla Creek
winter teasel
winter across thew street too
winter at our house
winter evergreens
winter stand
winter fence ...
winter old railroad bed...
winter on the redbuds
winter in our back yard ...
winter in oiur front yard...
sun burst through the clouds at the fence line by the horse barn along Pine Tree Rd from 1-22-15

late summer…
the trance of sun
on lily pads

 

 

late summer... the trance of light on lily pads
this quiet reach of trees and light...
in bundled bunches a mess of milkweed seeds ready to go....-
flowerfull display...
walking alone- submerged logs come to light ...
