Stories in Blue and Gold...

The sun goes down on 2012.

Season's GREETINGS -

 And Happy Trails.

Clearing the sky -

Lines, Wires, Acrobats,

 

Awesome.

Sandy's Harvest -

nature's perfection.

(red cedars)

VIGILS, Hurricane Sandy -

       Candlelight, rain and wind, waiting for the gale to subside....

        Then for the roads to be cleared....

For stores to reopen,
(wifi outside) -

           For gas.....

        And for the snows of the nor'easter to melt.

          
           All that waiting
            made time...


   

                          To take walks







        To read books by flashlight

       And to hold still, hoping a migrating bird might feed from the hand  - 

  

           



                                                Which it does.

12 days without power, many had circumstances much worse.
