THE SUN

Finally the sun has come out. It has begun to warm the world and melt some of the ice from the storm. Soon enough the water will flow down the gratings, and there will not be the crunch-crunch or slip-slip when walking on the sidewalk or in the forest. I think some of the animals are confused though, like the ducks and loons and the seagulls and dogs. It had gotten warm, and then cold again. Now, - this could happen and does- but it was extremely so. Who knows? All I know is that the weather is bound to get better. Earth changes, natural weirdness, cloud seeding, or whatnot aside, - things are what they are- and now it is warming and well. By late today, and possibly tomorrow if this keeps up, - I and the dogs shall be able to have a good walk. It’s the same or similar routine. Forest, field, - but it’s good for their brains, bones, muscles, and spirit. It’s not rocket science, - it’s just the same old things- fresh air, some movement, a car ride. And a coffee for daddy and some landscape pics if possible. Though the sky can do amazing things in the winter, I have noticed that there is nothing quite like some of the shades, deep and textured, as it presents in summer months. And varied too. Pink, purple, sometimes orange-y and other. So I long to see and capture in words and pictures some vistas, some landscapes, and some tree lines. I would like to be in there and look up to the left or right or straight on after rounding a bend and be taken aback by the same thing many people before, now and in the future are: sky, star, summit, and tree. Strong interesting feral shrub, wildflowers boasting and dancing purple and orange or white hues. Other things.
