Monday in Paris #2

Saint Jean-Baptiste by Jean Dampt at the Musee d’Orsay

with words spoken to my heart

~ and ~

a silent kiss placed upon my soul,

she speaks to me in a voice…

interpreted

by my imagination.

wordless wednesday

? cabbage or kale ?

a saturday stare #5

time for dinner…..yet????? please?????

About an hour or so before dinner, we are ‘faced’ with this longingly stare and quite a bit of dramatic conversation. Yes, you read correctly ~ conversation. Isabella speaks!

the close of day

the view across the pond

I am intrigued by sunsets ~

bewitched,

bewildered

&

frightened.

I see more than days

passing

into

nights

&

kaleidoscopes of color

swallowed

by

darkness.

I see moments approaching ~

slipping away

&

chapters ending ~

never to be lived…….

again.

back at it……..

Des Plaines River Trail

free of the vortex

trekking beside phantom tracks

joy of snowshoeing

a saturday stare #4

contemplation…

photo taken in November ~ before several snow falls ago ~ ~ ~

a saturday stare #3

 

 

 ~ ~ a persuasive Issi ~ ~

 

 

 

 

 

~ trailblazing ~

 

 

watery eyes,

runny nose,

freezing fingers,

burning toes ~

 

poles in hand,

laces secured,

ratchets tight,

crunching……. sounds…… underfoot ~ ~ ~

 

such a wonderful time ~ ~ walking in the snow ~ ~

with trails ahead

and

a smile in tow!

 

……… just purchased a pair of snowshoes – so much fun!!!

 

sunrise in the ‘shire

 

 

a view from the deck

 

pines swaddled in white ~ ~ ~ asleep

on the edge of morn ~ ~ ~ envision

the beauty …………………………………. of a seeping sunrise.
