Plow once of the field
Contentedly sits in snow
Resting and rusting
The last day of 2007, a year of good but hard work, and today – a day to rest before the new year begins.

I played with this photo to try and get a shot reminiscent of the old postcards in the 1940s and early 50s, and the technique worked pretty well as far as meeting that goal. I don’t know if it’s too much though.

Oak trees hold tight to their leaves
refuse to acknowledge
the passing of autumn
and stand stalwart in the snow,
awaiting spring.

Ice shrouded seed heads
are warming in the gray fog.
Glistening drip-drop.

This is south central Wisconsin. We are windy, foggy, snowy. Today relatives are arriving at my front door from New York City, San Francisco, and Chicago. Travel is iffy. Christmas is iffy. The presents are under the tree, the food is planned, the cookies are made, the beds are made, and the wine has been purchased for out 1st Annual Wine Tasting Christmas Eve Party.
Now we’ll see if the most important part of Christmas, our loved ones, arrive safely.

Snow fell throughout the winter wrapped city,
sweeping the streets and sidewalks, snowflakes dancing with the ice crystals.
All was white and wild.
Winter’s zenith.
In the depths of a darkened, shadowy building
the lamps glowed throughout the longest night. The lamps glowed.

Solstice. The longest night of the year. December 22 at 1:08 am was the mid-point between the equinoxes. From now on, we folk in the Northern Hemisphere will be ‘seeing the light.’
To all, a celebration,
