Pausing for the view
In November and December
as the days grew shorter,
I lamented.
So dreary …. so hard to motivate
and then Solstice:
a milestone to celebrate!
But now, as days turned to weeks
and indeed days are lengthening
and the turning of the calendar page
I’m taking time each morning
to pause and appreciate
not just the sunrise
but the lingering views of the moon
Wordless Wednesday – Charlie
Cold morning views
Azure skies above
frosting coated trees shimmer
cold morning colors
Charlie – A Charmed Life
Charlie spends plenty of time hiking, climbing and getting dirty.
Fortunately, he’s happy to hop in the tub as soon as he gets home.
Followed by a nap.
This is the life!

American Kestrel
Watching and waiting
high atop a leafless tree
looking for breakfast
Some facts about the American Kestrel:
- They live in areas with low vegetation and few trees.
- They hunt by day.
- They are the most common falcon in North America.
- They dine on insects, small rodents, small birds.
I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s photo, Haiku, and learning. Thanks for stopping by.
Full Moon Rising
Braving winter chill
we wait for the moon to rise –
magical glow begins,
backlighting nearby peaks
until
until
until the moon
in all its glory
lights up the night sky.
Solstice and the (almost) full moon
As the shortest day of the year turns from daylight to darkness, the moon rises.
This beautiful gibbous moon, just one day shy of a full moon, brightens the night. This was the inspiration for Aliana Reaches for the Moon.
Look for more photos of the moon tomorrow.
