16 January 2025 (chill)

chill of nightfall

a few last sounds

from the crow roost

15 January 2025 (dusting of snow)

dusting of snow . . .

the wren’s tracks erased

by a squirrel

14 January 2025 (Monday morning)

Monday morning

the jay pretends

it’s someone else

13 January 2025 (river dusk)

river dusk —

a few ducks foraging

along the ice edge

12 January 2025 (snow glare)

snow glare —

a flock of crows orbits

the perched hawk

11 January 2025 (Mars)

Mars at its brightest . . .

the not-so-distant glow

of wildfires

Thinking of all my friends and family in the LA area right now. Stay safe.

10 January 2025 (creaking)

creaking pine boughs . . .

a rusted-out washtub

where the stone walls meet

9 January 2025 (spitting snow)

spitting snow

my thoughts drift

to the deeryard

8 January 2025 (wind chill)

wind chill

a Valentine’s display

heats up a store window

7 January 2025 (snow)

snow filling in the blank sky

6 January 2025 (the river)

the river rushing past unfrozen wren chatter
