I have a post on Vision and Verb today that I hope you’ll check out. Both posts are about a photography field trip but with different lines of contemplation. So if you go there, please do come back here to get the full effect of my internal and external meanderings. Last Saturday, Steve and I…
I was hoping the next time I posted I’d be announcing that I had purchased a house and the process was running smoothly. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. I ended up with a seller that really doesn’t seem to want to sell. I expected counter-offers and stressful negotiations, but I didn’t expect the sellers to…
I’m trying a new thing. Perspective Poetry I started out with this observation on my way to work. Road spray Dirt blackened snow A scenic drive Ugh, not so great, but a bit comical. Poets and Writers magazine tweeted that I should flip through a dictionary and randomly choose ten words. Then write a poem…
It was one of those weekends. The drizzling and dripping never stopped. I found that a puddle about 2 feet wide and 2 inches deep had formed under the sliding barn door. I shoveled the water out this morning because I was afraid with the cold temperatures coming this week, the barn door will be…

Very zen. Good job Maery!
I love everything about this post! The poem, the photos, the feeling I get when perusing the words and images… Awesome! 🙂

Sue – Ah yes little grasshopper..
Zoma – Thanks. Things get so white and bright with the snow! (Well, and a big aperature…)
Dream Valley – I can feel another post coming on about that, hopefully with a funnier angle.
Beautiful photos. The geese, the dogs, and the world!!!
What gorgeous soft colours – I can feel the silence of the snow.
It’s been pretty colourless where I am so I’ve been looking with a few moments of colour in my pics!
I love it…”the silence of the snow”!!!
The photos tell the story but I just have to wonder what your Coffee Shoppe Dogies are thinkin’? They look intent!
God bless and have a marvelous day.
We too have snow…slicker than snot on a frozen glass doorknob out there!
Oh…I just love coming along with you for your winter walk!
I love the simplicity of your words. They make me want to toss out my to-dos and head outside to wander and wonder.
