leave the colors lost?
frost fullness feathers awash…
life releases us.
weatherman said so and so but well and oh. my. we got more. and that’s life. it evens up the score and leaves us gasping for our breath in the aftermath…
the color ‘neath ice whispers something resilient, singing, laughing past life’s coldest losses…

Haiku! Winter certainly came early for us this year. I love the contrast and irony you capture in these. It is a bitter, bitter morning here–12 below. Stay warm in body and soul, my friend.
Thank you…you too, warm and happy. 🙂
i love the snow…mainly because it breaks up the monotony as you say here…i don’t want to get out in it as much as i did years ago but it’s lovely…
These photos are quite lovely, JRuth. I think black and white can be beautiful, too. The turning of the seasons, for me, breaks up monotony. I will be ready for spring by the time she comes, but, right now, this is OK in all its hush.
