Critters, Fog and Frost

Anna how DID you get up there? Huh! Huh!

You mean this is not a cat shelter? Really...

Frost on a foggy morning.

Hay bales, fog and hoar frost.

Spikes so sharp looking and yet so terribly delicate!

Good thing no one was looking for a groundhog's shadow here today, you wouldn't have found the groundhog in this fog!

A splash of red, hello grosbeak!

Ode to Yellow

I love watching the finches find the sunflowers

their yellow and black on the green and yellow

their simple joy of finding seeds and chasing bees

hiding just a bit as the flowers dip down from their foraging

sometimes one, many times two or three feasting

impatient for the seeds to dry they steal from still blooming heads

nothing makes me smile like sunflowers

fall arrived today and my flowers bowed their heads low

no more sunflowers now until next spring. I'll miss them so.
