Late Winter afternoon at four o’clock
The sun was rushing off to bed
Where pillowed clouds received it
As it sank to rest.
Five seagulls following the light
Pursued the fading glory in the west,
White arrows in the darkening sky
Following the sun.
Separate and solitary
A single bird made haste
In purposeful pursuit
Fleeing the darkness.
He soared and swooped from side to side,
Powerful, carefree flight
Until six birds vanished
In the Winter sunset.
Finally received a little snow, by the weekend we have an ice storm coming, this blue jay doesn’t seemed to care.
Walking among snow-covered trees was magical. I was out in the forests a couple of times before all the snow melted and took a lot of photos.

Matsuo Basho (1644 – 1694) is considered the greatest Japanese haiku poet. "Winter Solitude" is one of his most-loved winter haiku poems:
Winter solitude –
in a world of one color
the sound of wind.
Below, please see the photo of the plant I used for this image. Should have been well on its way to the compost pile by now. :)

There hasn;t been much frost this winter so not many of those early morning photo opportunities. I suspect this have been the last one.
"Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home."

Please, don't fave and run, you will get yourself blocked.
I had seen this scene during the day and it offered no visual poetry... It kept nagging at me to see it at night....
10:30 pm in the woods may not be the best decision, but I knew exactly what I wanted and where to go...

This little chickadee was waiting patiently to fly over to one of the feeders in my yard.

Winter ist, wenn sich auch die Pferde über Schnee freuen.
Winter is when the horses are happy about the snow.

Sunset at the Schauinsland mountain, Black Forest.
First rays of the sinking sun stripe the beautiful scenery.
The upper Rhine valley is covered with a cloud layer (Inversion, no pollution) and in the distance the Vosges mountains, Alsace/France are visible. The end of a marvellous day out in Nature.
By the way, it is not so cold there as it may look for you.
The Black Forest is a forested mountain range.

Beginnender Sonnenuntergang auf dem Schauinsland im
Schwarzwald. Erste Strahlen der untergehenden Sonne tauchen
die Landschaft in ein schönes Licht.
Die Rheinebene liegt versteckt unter einer Inversionsschicht,
und in der Ferne verschwinden langsam die Konturen der Vogesen.
Ein schöner Tag draußen in der Natur neigt sich dem Ende zu.

Thank you for your kind visits :-)
I love winter. I find it to be so beautiful. The light and snow, and ice are magical. Winter is also very harsh and dangerous and even deadly.
The day after I got this photo of Barker the fox, I hit some black ice riding my bike and I wiped out and hit the ground hard. I broke my nose and tore open my lip. A week later I still have two black eyes and a swollen lip, but it could have been much, much worse.
Take care my Flickr friends.
Thank-you to all who take the time to comment on my photos it is always greatly appreciated.
