a gentle wave
takes my castle

I skip a stone
onto a still sea
and many years later
a wave brings it back
smooth

I was busy photographing Mount Sneffels and when I turned my head this beautiful golden light was just lighting up the fence. Obviously, I couldn’t pass it up.

#短歌 #tanka

I wait for the wind
to blow my neighbor's red leaves
onto my lawn
so I can put them in a bag
and give them back to her

some grey clouds meet up
and form a dragon

I made my first needle felted dog! 😁☀️ It was very relaxing. Can't wait to make another! My girls went to the groomer yesterday, and she gave me 2 bags of their hair, which I incorporated into the feltie dog. 🥰 It's standing on my as of yet unfinished wet felt landscape.
