As if snow laden

stark barren branches and twigs

offer spring blossom

Spring

.

Three days dry and mild

a relief for groaning soil

asks are we there yet?

Venetian blinds

.

Striated light beams

from the late afternoon sun

dust particles float

.

Return to normal

.

Dry yields to dampness

new vegetation unleashed

April showers return

Satellite

.

A three-quarter moon

death-star-like in a blue sky

waiting suspended

Silhouette

.

Pigeon pair cooing

on redundant aerials

early morning sun

Sense of wellbeing

.

Irrepressible

longer evenings, bright skies

excited contentment

Bathing

.

late afternoon sun

streams through the double windows

I bathe on the floor

Repeat

.

Blocking high pressure

still, stable sunlit blue skies

invigorating

.

by Scooj

Good to be alive

.

One of those mornings

stillness and cloudless blue skies

spring is in the air
