Closing out the year
Another cycle ends
Weather juxtaposed
Last year’s snow
Winter’s dread
Seasons pay no heed to dates
Carving up the calendar
Each claiming their own stake
Category Archives: Nature
Darkened hours before the light
Sun surfacing slowly
Winter nights draw on
Cold heart
Cold hands and feet
Rise in the morning
Mistake it for dusk
Back to bed
Going back to sleep
Strange day
Strange bounty, hanging in the rafters
Strange ways
Mystery to most
Make hay while the sun shines low
Soon after set aglow
Ontario
Getting the crops in
Final season of bounty
Autumn arrives in a deciduous county
Colours set to bloom
Forest greens taking on hues
Red, orange and yellow
Purple and white
Resting at your feet
Painting the sky
Scattered on high winds
Falling leaves
Apples to pick
Final Quarter
Autumn rain, cool contrast to summer
Shimmering, pavement slick and black
Leaves changing
Forest soon to slumber
Winter comes
Always laughing last
Day dreaming of mountain ranges, overlooking the sea
Unknown places
At least to me
Landlocked in the land of lakes
Beauty faded
Greyed by familiarity
I feel hemmed in
Lost in the trees
I seek open air
Coastline at my feet
Pre-dawn
The rain begins to fall
Tapping on the windows
Autumn comes to call
September goes by quick
Summer at an end
Check another off the list
Final months before the snow falls
Half a year in the cold
Never any easier
Winter soon takes hold
Cycle
Early morning
Idle time
The climbing sun comes at last
Another day dawns in earnest
The summer months go by fast
Flash of fire, then back to dark
Long nights and pitch black skies
Time seems to stretch on in the absence of the light
Late days of summer
Dry heat and signs of change
Green to orange, red and yellow
Autumn on its’ way
Leaves scattered by the wind
Temporary beauty, torn from the limbs
