Grey Heron, River Frome, Bristol, December 2022

.

Standing motionless

worn down and battle-scarred bill

heron… gone fishing

Frost

.

Accumulation

of perfect cuboid crystals

Freezing point drama

.

by Scooj

Two wishes

.

Bitterly cold night

my eyes drawn to the black sky

and two shooting stars

.

by Scooj

Grip

.

We are reminded

after months of warm weather

what freezing feels like

.

by Scooj

The white stuff

.

A pleasant surprise

visited on a cold morn

thin dusting of snow

.

by Scooj

Visible breath

.

I exhale gently

fleeting misty cloud, droplets

winter approaches

.

by Scooj

Quagmire

.

Days of constant rain

and builders in the garden

a winter mud bath

.

by Scooj

100 percent

.

The moon, bright yellow

and as full as it can be

opposes sunset

.

by Scooj

* on watching the sun set to my left and full moon rise to my right in cloudless skies. A wondrous thing.

Waxing crescent

.

A golden cup moon

sinks below the horizon

darkness descending

.

by Scooj

Night sky

.

Orion’s belt hides

below darkened street rooftops

beautiful night sky

.
