Thinking White, Scratching March


We woke to a new white
clinging thickly to all the trees.


Tree ghosts rise above the woods
whenever I photograph through half open bedroom windows


as if they're marching down the mountain
to shelter by the stream.


You might be bored with snow covered trees...
but it's my blog
and I record what inspires moi!
Mind you a warm Caribbean beach might inspire me right now too!


And just because I haven't shown you rusty pups lately...
they're waiting for Handy Hubby who's down the drive picking up
his morning reading.


March daily scratchings
has started with a new strip of natural dyed linen.


For some reason a braided tail asked to announce the arrival or March.

  1. rusty pup right looks like "i'm ready for my close-up" whereas rusty pup left is "oh, i'm having a bad hair day, please." i'm not going to complain about seeing your lovely vistas - beats what i see out my window any day...city scape!
    all hail March.

    1. Soft and calming when you don't have to go out and brave rush hour traffic anymore!

  5. A braid image was in my recent post... but a written kind.... I like that your cloth has a tail. And I'll never tire of snow covered trees, especially 2nd and 3rd shots - they have those ghostly layers that are my main inspiration right now!

  6. Gorgeous trees, those photos are lovely. We've had almost zero snow here in Toronto and I miss it! This warm winter has sucked.

    Your sampler is looking so beautiful.

    1. I know, hardly a winter at all. I'm wondering if there's still time for the powers that be above to make up for it in the next few weeks!

    1. You are right...being in the middle of a snowstorm give me that feeling too; but also calmness and serenity. Then on the other hand when I had to face rush hour traffic in the getting to work days, those snows caused so much chaos and trouble.
