Grasshopper in a world of dreams

With temperatures dipping down to 57 F. degrees below zero (with wind chill) in our state today - I am dreaming of spring, and warm-sunny days. The tiny town of Tok happens to be the place recording that bitterly cold temperature this morning, and is just a three-hour drive from our cabin. It makes the 25 F. degrees below zero recorded at our place this morning - feel downright balmy.

It was a freezing, sunny day

but in the picture

the snow, quite dirty, turned out gray

and the shadows a light blue.

This just won't do...

Wishing you a wonderful Sunday! Another digital painting of a scene from my October desert trip.

Happy New Year!

Instead of a fly, how would you react to a butterfly landing in your blueberries and cream? ...

Due to the closeup on the berries the butterfly has been greatly reduced in size.

Baby Snowman's first time playing in winter wonderland.

----------------------------------

Created using several images I produced using deepAI.org "Image creator", blended, manipulated & layered together in Photoshop.

Autumn has arrived in Alaska. Night temperatures are dipping down into the low thirty's in much of our state, and the leaves and ground cover will reach peak colors over the next ten days. The summer insect's have disappeared, and the hunters are out in full force. Meanwhile the Lynx are chasing the army of rabbits that have been surrounding our cabin since early spring. It's a wonderful time of year in the far north - that is, if you have all of your chores done for winter.

"Timeless Valentine" . . .

As time goes by from year to year,

One thing is surely true, my dear;

Though decades come and decades go,

Just seeing you sets me aglow.

Time shifts my body; I start to sag,

When I pass a mirror, it can make me gag.

My joints all ache; I can hardly move;

Still a smile from you, and I’m in the groove.

Getting older can be a pain,

But with you along, I can’t complain.

Despite the things that we go through,

I know I’ll never stop loving you.

Your loving heart turns life to play,

As we laugh at time from day to day.

So I write this poem, and I’ll hang my sign,

Saying, "Always Be My Valentine."

(Poem by; Karl and Joanna Fuchs)
