November 30: Cardinals

pair of cardinals

decorating

the Christmas tree

November 29: Sunset

magenta sky

an intense conversation

flares up

November 28: Clock

grandfather clock

chiming the hours

of my childhood

November 27: Thaw

brief thaw

chickadees trying out

spring love songs

November 26: Displacement

relocating spiders

to make room

for the Christmas tree

November 25: Christmas lights

November rain

plugging in the Christmas lights

before breakfast

November 24: Mt. Battie

snowy mountain trail

my only companions

fly away

November 23: Tracks

long shadows

crossing the path

of last night’s deer

November 22: Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving

feeding the birds

before breakfast

November 21: Sky

higher thoughts

deep blue of the sky

before the cold snap

November 20: Fresh snow

fresh snow

the heavy weight 

of a long winter
