29 December 2022 (a little snow)

a little snow

on the rotting pumpkin

year’s end

28 December 2022 (winter blues)

winter blues fading into the light flurries

27 December 2022 (chill)

morning chill . . .

two squirrels spiral down

the old maple

26 December 2022 (new ice)

new ice

whispers on the lake . . .

the afterlife

25 December 2022 (cold)

seasonably cold . . .

filling the bird feeders

in my new sweater

24 December 2022 (aftermath)

aftermath

pond ice holds the patterns

of last night’s gale

23 December 2022 (stuck)

stuck in traffic . . .

an unending stream of crows

flies to roost

22 December 2022 (off-key)

someone off-key

at the carol sing-along

Orion’s belt

21 December 2022 (winter solstice)

winter solstice

a bluebird calling

across the field

20 December 2022 (eyes)

our eyes meeting solstice sunrise

19 December 2022 (sunset glow)

the sunset glow

of snow on the mountain

. . . feeder finches
