No sign of spring winter lingers on cold mornings clear blue sky nature covered in snow ice builds bridges cross the creek with running water just a few more days now
Still

Awaiting
Ice covers the pond like wrapping paper for the frozen water plants just beneath the surface Sunbeam melts the ice inch by inch unwrapping again the pond gives life to the frozen waterlily
Hope in a droplet
Winter seems never ending the days are short no sunlight and nights too long Walking in the forest dark and heavy clouds a little droplet catch my eyes The beauty of the droplet a little jewel on the sprouse gives me hope of brighter days to come
Winter mood II
Winter recolors the forest from green and yellow to all shades of black and white Cold rocks on the forest ground grey and edgy softly reshaped by layers of white snow Tree logs dark and grey naked and cold carrying a few golden leaves that didn't fall Black running water in the little creek dark and mysterious framed in softly by the snow
Happy new year
A newborn year unwritten untold Feel the joy write new words tell new stories Happy new year!
Water
Water is an amazing element
turning into beautiful crystals and frozen droplets
decorating the dead leaves and plants in the forest
and giving them new life and beauty
during the cold winter season.
It is a wonderful thing that snow crystals
floating slowly through the air
is the element water
frozen into perfectly shaped stars and flowers
each and everyone different from each other.
Fern
I was reading on wikipedia when I looked up fern that there are probably about 15000 different sorts of fern worldwide. About 200 sorts in Europe and 45 sorts in Norway. Interesting.
They kind of decorate the forest growing on a layer of moss which again grows on a stone, on an old tree log or a dead tree and alongside a little creek or covers an open field between the birches.
Fern
Reach for the sunlight
early spring
all curled up
Unfold
turning bright green
during summer
Color change
when autumn comes
curling up again
