Sunny Days will be around the Corner…I’m guessing..

Leave a reply

But not today. Incoming dreariness! Dreary indeed. And incoming more FUNGI! But I find I see some interesting things on these dreary walkabouts. Unfortunately, it’s about the same things, so you’ve been warned. There were a lot more fungi I couldn’t get too, the rain had made some flooded spots, I definitely need rain boots!

I think this will be my last bit of redundancy! the redundant fungi, the redundant puddles, the cloudy skies..the wet death of winter. Because March will be here soon. Spring break! I plan to do a little camping and hopefully sunny days will be around the corner…I’m only guessing…the whole world is in a state of dreariness, it’s hard to believe in anything…

I’m not completely satisfied with my walkabout haul today. I was more distracted than anything, and I was trying to embrace the last bit of the winter into my lungs, looking more at the sky, but also searching inward that I couldn’t capture through the lens. Maybe just a state of ease, letting the air fill my lungs with hope, anticipation for the next weeks to come.

January …UGH

These photos pretty much sums up the continuation of last year’s obsessions with birds and puddles. Ugh, you’re stuck with it. Until I can move past and find more inspiration, I suppose I will continue to find something inspiring in these rather sulky January moments. I like regarding nature after a tumultuous storm, or days of rain and then that cloudy quiet when you can go back outside and regard the damp, sullen leaves, puddles, and the stark trees reflected in the pools. And of course my little kid comes out of me and I must dance in the puddles! But yeah, you’ve already heard this, and if you’ve seen one puddle you’ve seen them all, so I just want to share some more with you.

The only cool thing is I finally caught a barred owl in the trees! So I was super happy and went trudging through the mud trying to get a glimpse of him. He was enjoying a delicious meal of mouse.

He’s hard to see, but you can definitely feel the January in these photos. I can’t promise there won’t be any more puddles and birds, so just bear with. Maybe the next photos there will be plenty of sunshine and buds emerging from this sullen, sodden winter.
