2021 Home Photo Challenge 2-10-21

The Home Photo Challenge was fun for me last year. Since I do not think much is going to be changing for me in the way of travel this year, I am going to continue the challenge for myself into 2021. This year I am going to add a little twist. I will give a brief description of each photo I take and write a Haiku to go along with it

The bird feeding station in the morning sun

Ready for the birds

To break their fast from darkness?

Gather in the light.

The sun rising over the snow. This isn’t today though. Our skies are lead today. Another 3-5 inches of snow are expected.

I remember sun

It wasn’t so long ago

It shon in the sky.

Our Christmas snowman is buried in winter

So Christmas gives way

To winter buried in snow,

Waiting for release.

The low hanging branch in the middle of the picture actually broke under the weight of the snow.

Pressure from without

Breaks branches, decades of growth.

Nature’s hard fast rule.

CFFC: Fake Animals At the Vicarage

The Vicarage is an eclectic place with lots to explore and discover. We have plenty of live animals of course. 3 dogs and a cat. Flocks of birds gather in the twisting vines, shrubs and trees around the property and several families of squirrels live here as well ( I am afraid some have taken up residence in the back porch roof). But we also have lots of fake animals about in various forms.

This little guy really likes the daffodil garden…although right now I think he is living in my cellar.

Pooh is happy we found him (he was an old dog toy that got buried in the garden). He really likes living on our porch now. It’s better than being one foot under.

This cat lives in my sketch book with many other animals.My sketch book has been sadly neglected recently. I hope to get back to it sometime soon. “Good Lord willin’ and the crick don’t rise”. Of course, it is coming toward spring and the crick always rises then ….sooooo.

Brenda helped decorate the extension beds to the catywhomnpus gardens last summer. She painted this bed as a pocket watch attached to the rabbit.

DO YOU DECORATE YOUR GARDENS WITH STATUARY? I AM THINKING OF BUYING A FEW LARGER PIECES IN THE SPRING.

DO YOU SKETCH OR PAINT? DO YOU DO ANIMALS OR SCENERY?

This little Christmas bell blows in the winter wind adding it’s music to our sphere.

Winter bell rings on.

Beyond the Christmas season

Makes winter less bleak.

The last remnants of a dead tree stuck in the antique hydrangeas. I have two more trees in this area of the lot I want to take down. The Conservation Commission is slowing up the process.

Life cycles move on.

Regardless of our wishes,

Old trees will still fall.

The bones of the trees can be seen best in winter.

Fingers reaching out

To grasp the snow, tell the truth

Of trees’ intentions.

An ice sculpture has grown by the Vicarage squirrel corner

Blue and green and white

Thousands of frozen droplets

Tell winter’s stories.

The Vicarage after a Nor’Easter

Nor’Easter blowing.

Winds paint the sides of houses.

Hope in crystal form.
