keeping an eye on the crowd

that's feasting on brunch.

Haiku 114 Winter's Snow

Winter's snow

provides a wide brimmed hat,

missing a feather.

This was taken while snowshoeing yesterday. Such a beautiful day to be out.

Macro Monday-Cloth

This weeks theme was cloth. This past December my husband and I celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary. My mom taught me how to make this folded star, back then. I used the fabrics from my wedding dress, the bridesmaid's dresses and the jr bridesmaid's dresses as a keepsake. My mom had made my dress as well as the bridesmaids dresses. I'm in the process of weeding out stuff I don't need. But this...I'm hanging onto.

Haiku 113 Shades of Brown, Green, White

Shades of brown, green, white

Winger's typical pallet

A colorful find-joy!

Nice to find some bright color while on a snowshoe hike.

Haiku 112 Collecting Snowflakes

Collecting snowflakes

Silently sitting sentry

all is safe for now.

I need to trim some branches out of my lilac so it's easier to take pictures of the birds that like to sit in it while feasting on the seeds I give them. And I get to stay nice and warm while I take the pictures from my work room. 

Haiku 111 Saranac to Saranac?

Saranac to Saranac?

Commitment, endurance, strength...

Yes! Training starts now.

Three years ago I met up with the crew at the last rest stop to take my son a different bike.

Two years ago I followed this ride and took lots of photos along the way.

Last year I followed the ride halfway and then rode my bike the second half. 

This year....my goal is to do the whole ride. It starts in Saranac NY and ends at the Saranac Brewery in Utica.

Training must begin now!

Haiku 110 Winter Was Here

Winter was here,

Spring rains came, winter returned

All in a matter of days.
