I wandered South to visit loved ones
for the holidays
passed through lands
cloaked in frost and blue skies
got as far south as Southern California
where days were as warm
rather hot
as the gold in the setting sun's skies
found a tremendous amount of birds
and asked if they missed Montana
saw succulents bathing in the heat of day
saw trees that i love
that do not live in the northern realm where i live
trees that made me pause to breathe with
look close
what do you see!
a bear had climbed this tree!
(Ashland Oregon)
day after day of driving
(as it was a 24 hour drive each way)
i drove back into winter
to the land that i call home
~
wishing you a wonderful 2014
may the year overflow
with days
and nights
that feel wonderful
to you!
