At the insistence of the small brown wren,
the April sun agrees to rise
and listen to her trilling song.

Small Stones 17/2015
slim crescent of light
etched in the smooth blue canvas
of a january sky
waning pale
in the dark of early morning hours
to arise from the chrysalis of night
unfurling silver wings
for lunar flight
Small Stones 12/2015
birds alight low on the evergreen boughs
calling & singing
as I fill the feeders-
the air is feather light
with the sound of wings & the dawning sun
morning dance
wavelets dance
across the morning cove
skipping and hopping
with the cool breeze
playing ring around the rosie
with the shy sweet peas
sun burned
sunburned
dawn
stretches
across the waiting cove
into the new day
*** the sun was such a deep rosy red this morning and sent the color all the way across the water to the porch. The photos don’t do it justice, but take my word, it was gorgeous! Have a beautiful day! K

sunday morning moments
wavering reflection/ dawns light on the water/ prayers of thanksgiving
sound of trumpets/ wild geese overhead /processional hymn
echoing across the cove/ tiny wrens warbling song/ call to worship
frothy white pear blossoms/ peek out from the woods/ little girls in church
small brown chipmunk/ perched on the gray stone wall/ morning meditations
small fishing boats/ bobbing in the morning cove/ gestures of faith
across the warming meadow/ cacophony of birdsong/ sunday morning choir practice
morning wakes/ shrouded in gray mist/ prayers of intercession
quiet murmuring/ pale gray doves in the cedars/ lenten prayers
from the cedar tops/ blue jays call/ shouts of acclamation
cold wind ruffles the morning cove/ sound of waves against the rocky shore/ prayers of the penitent
from the cold winter garden/ bright golden trumpets of daffodils/ intrusion of grace
*** This is the scene that greeted me this morning as I was filling the birdfeeders – such a glorious sky and reflections – hope you have a beautiful day
red haired dawn
leaping over the ridge
dawn’s red haired wildness
skips across the cove
with tawny paws
*** I was thrilled this morning to see a red fox loping across the meadow. He was a gorgeous color with his foxy face and bushy tail. We have seen tracks and evidence of his hunt, but this was our first sighting. A joy to see!
awakened by giggling from the treetop
coming home in the early light
she balances in the cedar
hanging from her stockinged legs
swinging and kicking her pale feet
I can hear the giggling
sprinkling from the morning sky
half tipsy
half moon at dawn
