in the middle of winter
in the eastern woodlands
a leaf
earthbound
and
skyward
an opening
to both worlds
the door latch
rusting scarlet...
winter rain
object #4 and random pics

I especially like how the beads of sugary ice have formed along the leaf's crisped cinnamon edge.
I love any little reminder of the season just past, or the season ahead which is why I look forward to the first crocuses. (Croci? What is the correct plural?)
Steven I have NO special pull with the powers that be! I always say that the weather predicts me, not the other way around. But if I were your students, I wouldn't let that stop me from doing a snow dance. I figure these gestures can't hurt anything, and they keep us busy and creative while we wish the weather would conform to our needs.
Seriously I don't ever do weather magic. That's outta my hands. But thank you for your confidence in me!
Utterly stunning words, steven, and a gorgeous picture. Thank you.
That leaf is such an exquisite colour steven.
beautiful!
I've scrolled back and found nothing but treasure trove.
Yours is a blog to linger over and savour.
