Twilight
Jupiter and friends
Rainbow sun smiles on Christmas Eve
Families decorate their dead
Festive scenes of joy for those
Now ghosts of Christmas past
Who rejoice in silence over love
Shared by those who don’t forget
Loved ones who were, and will always be
In their thoughts, their hearts, their memories
Merry Christmas!
Dawn
Silver and the Gang
Actung! Paparazzo! Put down the phone and give me attention.
Admit it, pathetic paparazzo! I look great in silhouette, don’t I?
Spunk
Marble
Black T-Cats
…just a plain poem
Out in darkness, 6 AM
Bright stars shine like twilight’s frost
Shadows move among the trees
Down paths familiar all looks the same
Until a wormhole opens
Do we dare pass through?
Unfamiliar paths winds through broken branches
Grabbing clothes, scratching skin
Elms felled by beavers block the way
Another trail, a tale be told
Finding cranes in all the new places
Shallows wrapped by misty spaces
Path splits! Why? Indicision’s wrath
Left or right? Which one to take
Will one or the other lead to Destiny or Doom?
Tree lies along the trail with a broken back
Sinuous tree, sympathetic, perhaps, lies on the other side
How many feet pass by?
Fog rises off the river
Cranes stand together like Hydra in the mist
Rolling through the tangled trees and brush
Fog consumes the bosque
Rising sun tries to vanquish mist
A hard battle fought
Sunrise overcomes fog’s faux-iron grip
Long beams light crane’s field
Happy to be set free
Dusk
Cranes are on display
Jet flies under crescent moon
Dragon licks its toes
Sunrise
No walk in the rain
Wet walk once a week is good
Clouds cold-cocked the sun
Snuggle kitties
Sasha knows how to stay warm while she naps.
Gwendolyn participating in Spunk’s Art.
Sunset
Sunset looked like sunrise
Dusk
Our morning walk started with a beautiful crescent moon peeking through the clouds.
Clouds capped the Sandias.
Lots of cranes huddled together at dawn
The beavers were up early and splashing a warning that there was a dangerous paparazzo with a big yellow dog standing near the edge of the water.
A Bosque Bunny was up early, also.
Sunrise
Kitties: “It’s too early and too cold for you to be pestering us, pesky Paparazzo!”
Don’t you think it’s a little early to be hitting the catnip, Silver?
Spunk: “What are you looking at me for? Jake did it!”
Jake: “I didn’t do it! I swear! I’m telling you the truth. You know Spunk is lying. He’s always trying to get me in trouble.”
It looks like you got caught in the mosquito net again, Jake.
Sunset
The morning clouds left a dusting of snow on the crest.
Daddy Owl @ dusk
Dawn
Jake hoping for a handout
A cluster of cats
Gwendolyn
Loki helping with laundry
Udderly rediculous
Spunk annoyed
Spunk eyes
The first of three of Susan’s roses
