The Danger of driving

The danger of driving,…when roads are covered with snow and ice. (Makes for interesting Black and White pictures, though!) My other entry for danger is here: I struggle

Oh Wanderlust! The places you take me…

Oh Wanderlust! The places you take me…

I wander in the jungles
I wander in cities
I wander in the mountains
I wander by the seas
When sun is nigh
I wander
Drenched in light
Or the moon high
I wander
In the silver-night
I wander in my thoughts
Places seen, unseen
Oh wanderlust!
The places you take me…

A Raindrop On My Windowsill, And That Bird Singing Outside…

A Raindrop On My Windowsill, And That Bird Singing Outside…

Those were particularly dull days of the week,
Friday didn’t quite light me up
That lingering gray-ness weighing down
Into my days, from the skies above.
But Sat morning, I woke up
To the first Spring rains.
The grass was green, the plants
drippin’ with all it can contain
The earth emanated the love-scent
Of yearning, now spent
That Nature’s way of doting
Never failed to surprise me in
ways most endearing…
A raindrop on my windowsill
And that bird singing outside!

A surprise that I knew was in the offing, but what a pleasant one it was: A raindrop on my windowsill, and a bird singing outside!

A raindrop hangs out on my windowsill in a just-dropped-in-to-say-hello kind of way…
This bird sits on the still almost bare tree, but itself a forerunner of Spring that was on its way…
