Pause in Winter

2/3/2024, red R, 10:15am-12:00pm

Gorgeous, sunny morning
Shiny, sleek trails, glistening branches
Frost sparkles the ground and the fallen leaves
Frosted prairie trails transform into sog and slosh
So many busy birds
Black crows communicate, calling back and forth
Whitest of white and red-headed woodpecker
Pause in winter; taste of early spring
Renew, re-energize
