2021 Home Photo Challenge 1-22-21

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 sun rising over the convent behind The Vicarage

Winter sun rising

Makes holy the holy place

Reminder of hope.

This photo is a throwback to the fall, but I am feeling the need for photos that speak of warmer days. While I can’t seem to get milkweed to grow at the Vicarage the property behind the house has it so we always get a few monarch flying through in the fall.

Gossamer moments,

Fluttering wings pass me by

Ephemeral time.

Winter nightfall at The Vicarage

The gathering dark

Makes clear what light is still left

Beauty shines on.

Downed branches from a storm have made a little waterfall at the back of The Vicarage

Distant waters spill

Winter over downed branches

Washing it away.

This dog house has been in our backyard since long before I moved here in 2011. I don’t even remember who it belonged to.

A forgotten home

Is the playground of squirrels

Beneath the bower.

I never noticed how these maple pods become translucent as the winter wears on.

Frosted glass gems hang

Like earrings from trees, beauty

Soon to bring new life.

We awoke to the fall of heavy snish . That’s snow mixed with rain mixed with slush.

It is snishing out.

Rain, snow, slush from the night sky

Falling into life.

I am jumping in on this week’s FUN FOTO CHALLENGE.

One of this year’s blogging goals for me is to really focus on building community, and as Cee said, “This challenge both new and archived photos are allowed.  The main purpose of this challenge is to create community and get to know each other through photography.”

Cee and I live at opposite ends of the country, but like her I live in a pretty small community. This is Central Street in my home town.

That green and white building in the background used to be my family’s restaurant. We sold it after my father died back in 1991. It has been empty for going on a decade now.

This is the house where I grew up and now live. We call it The Vicarage.

That is the steeple of my grandparents’ church…the first church where I youth pastored back in 1992-1995.

What was comes again

In new form sporting old clothes.

What was can then sleep.

A whole world’s in a

Drop of rain. I’m wondering

What’s inside of me.
