When The Leaves Are Gone, Then Come The Sunsets

"Some winters will never melt

Some summers will never freeze 

And some things will only live in poems."

~Sanober Khan

Turquoise Silence

I swear winter sunsets try a little harder to be beautiful, to make up for the loss of all the autumn leaves. Even if it's only a day into the winter season! I think I am going to try to capture as many sunsets this winter as possible. Just look at that color! Like with each individual leaf of autumn, I will never see that exact sunset, ever again!

Christmas Eve 2019

"When we recall Christmas past,

 we usually find that the simplest things... 

not the greatest occasions... 

give off the greatest glow of happiness."

Migrating Canadian Geese

On the way home last Saturday, I spotted all kinds of different birds making their way south. Migration in the Central Valley has been lovely so far! Not only did I spot a brand new bird, just a couple weeks ago, but on Saturday I got to watch a gorgeous flock on Canadian Geese, and then a large group of Starlings making their way south, to warmer temperatures. I am thinking of asking Santa Claus for some bird feeders for Christmas, because that is something I can have a lot of fun with, even on this horrible Fibromyalgia days when there is no leaving the house because of pain! Who knows how many new birds I might be able to spot in 2020!? What a lovely thing to be able to look forward to!

Welcome To Winter 2019

"Winter is much like unrequited love; cold and merciless."

~Kellie Elmore

Today is the first full day of winter, but my heart remains in autumn. All is not lost however, because it gives us long, dark days, when naps are especially delicious, and books are much more like best friends, than mere escape vessels. I think I love winter on a certain level, but sometimes I wish it came before autumn. Oh well, I guess God got it right, who could handle the colors of autumn, immediately after the ghostly deep blue of winter? The mind would reel!
