Reflections 4

February 3, morning after the storm...shadows and light

January sunset, 4:46pm sky...

January sunset, 4:31pm sky...

February after sunset, 5:50pm sky...

February after sunset, 5:37pm sky...

Deep into winter, this series, now, 'Reflections 4', definitely gives the feel of the season. Soft pastels, with some hints of the blazing Colorado sun. We see signs of spring, with the tiniest of buds on the trees and bushes, the days, markedly longer, enjoying some warm temps this week well into the 60's. So much so, sandals and short sleeves yesterday and a long long walk in Cherry Creek State Park. 

I am slowly working on a project with the 'Reflection' series, so for those of you who pray, I would ask, please pray for this handiwork to proceed forward and, which when completed and presented, it be a blessing!!

My shadow, yesterday at the defrosting lake...sweater hanging off my being, making for an interesting shape!

'In the midst of morn she quietly rose

to greet the dawn of silent repose

She searched beyond the frozen hills

and through the bough's of crystal frills

She danced in dream as clouds rolled by

in hopes the sun would pierce the sky 

As moments passed nil of light

the wind kicked up with all it's might

In tumbling turmoil the west winds raged

in fluttering beauty to turn the page 

Within a breath a single sigh

the Winter wrath had waved goodbye

As sunlight burned of velvet white

upon her face a shaft of light... '
