across the field
with the wind
my thoughts

 

glowing blooms of spring
blossoming through the drab leaves of last fall...
Late afternoon sun sparkling on the brook beside our house... parts of the creek are still frozen and the open water goes under ice in places but was running nicely this afternoon... 3-1
Cardinal red on an afternoon walk along the railroad bed... it was easy to see this little bit of red in all that gray beige backdrop...3-19-15
robin at attention 3-21-16
darkening sky 3-20-16
photos of sun sparkling on the stream beside our house 3-19-15 c
out of the drabbery
crocuses
crocus time
In another world on the light blown surface of water rippling along on the day...3-17-15
