Winter Walk MLK Day 1/19/2015

A mixed bag of weather

blew in last night

This morning we woke

to this silvery gray world  

Get close

and you can see

Every twig on every tree

is coated with snowy filigree

Across the valley

There is no wind

All is still

The humpy back of Whitcomb Hill

A cashmere coat of gray twill

A small party

of Lady Apple Trees

Wait to waltz around 

the snowy field

Mike's gathering tank

reflects the scene 

It's  a new point of view

 These leaves of oak
Hangers on

Remnants of summer past

Last to leave the party

Proof 

that these pictures 

are not black and white

A rock and a paper birch

Mingle

A patchwork of bark

lichen

and

cotton balls of snow

Here is where 

I turn around 

and head for home.

 And take another look

at what I have seen this morning
