Tranquil day at the edge of a field

A frog glides across frosty water pooled at the base of a rock statue

tribute to years of cascading dreams

Drifting across the surface breating in the mist lifting off

the icy blue water

unemerged green stalks

promises of flowers

calm the frog hoping for a warm Spring ahead

The Sounds of Spring

I finally had an evening to sit on the front porch and listen to the creek. The mallard male and female are back! I love watching them year after year as they return to create the sweetest little ducklings! The creek music is singing with a range of sounds and the greens are a feast for the eyes. Bamboo green, Cadmium green , Cobalt Green, Compose green, Permanent green, and Terra Haute. Perhaps a touch of sepia and a hint of Ochre and Umber. Ah, and perhaps a tad of cobalt blue. Ahhhhhhhhhhh.
