petals scattering
memories of fading spring
summer whispers “soon”
Watching the trees shed their blossoms’ petals is both beautiful and sad. Summer comes on the death of spring.
Earthbound Blossoms

Mists flowing the trees
mists flowing through trees
moisture upon the petals
dreaming of the sun
Kissed by Sunlight
kissed by the sunlight
dancing upon the spring breeze
the arc of petals
gazing skyward
sunlight flows through the trees
crows laughing boldly
Snoozing Through Winter
snoozing through winter
slowly awakening
morning’s gentle rain
Today’s “Word of the Day Challenge” is Snooze. These words came while watching rhododendron blooms slowly come to life this week.
Blessings on the Wind
as spring moves forward
sunlight dancing on blossoms
blessings on the wind
Blossoms in the Breeze
upon the spring breeze
blossoms gracefully dancing
within the sunlight
Moment of Sunlight
moment of sunlight
gentle breeze against the sky
now the calm of night
I took this photo while trying to capture a bee dancing vigorously between the blooms. She was much too fast for my photo, sadly. Yet it was a lovely moment.
Blossoms Fading
springtime passing by
now branches filling with leaves
blossom petals shed
I’m noticing the cherry blossoms, oh so recently bursting forth, starting to fall. It is one their beauties, their fragility, their temporary presence. Emergence to vanished is such a short window.
Dusk In Edmonds
such a graceful sight
as sun moves down the mountain
night’s beauty gathers
This is my contribution to the Fandango One Word Challenge for today: “such”. Not the easiest word to create from, I must say.
I took this photo a few days ago along the waterfront of Edmonds, WA, just a short drive from my house. It’s one of my favorite places.
