Despite December's
gloomy weather, spring things grow-
springtime is coming.

December 17, 2018

Precious December
light illuminates autumn's
bounty- seasons change.

December 15, 2018

The days fall away,
each one shorter and darker-
stumbling to Christmas.

December 11, 2018

Storm lets up briefly,
reward for wet day, sunset
clouds- before dark night.

December 7, 2018

Daylight fades quickly,
warm tones cast onto distant
peak- sky's lullaby.

December 6, 2018

You seem so close some
days, distant others- does the
space between us change?

December 5, 2018

Christmas cactus lights
up house- guiding me one day
closer to new year.

December 4, 2018

Sunset's rosy hue,
embraces Mount Baker- snow
warms, ready for bed.

December 3, 2018

Through the frosty air,
I can see for miles- distant
peak shines in late sun.

November 30, 2018

Trying to light deck,
old autumn chrysanthemum-
daylight fades too soon.

November 28, 2018

Falling into dark,
earlier every day- we
wait for tide to turn.

November 27, 2018

For the next few months,
I'll pretend I'm in Provence-
lavender daydreams.

November 26, 2018

How many plants do
I own now? I'm too scared to
count- cabin fever.

November 24, 2018

Christmas cacti bloom,
a myriad of colours-
rainbow to winter.

November 23, 2018

Summer's harvest gone,
autumn's cold rains prepare earth-
for spring's warm embrace.

November 22, 2018

Nothing delights like
red poinsettias- Christmas
then seems less daunting.

November 20, 2018

Far away snow white
peak gleams, late afternoon light-
soon view slips away.

November 19, 2018

Hot pink arrests the
eye, sun or clouds, fall colours
are muted- feast now.

November 18, 2018

Bouquet of flowers,
something to remind me that
spring will return- soon.

November 17, 2018

Even car parks have
beauty at times- when you're there
and present to see.
