In the distance, to the West,
Blue skies highlight icy crystals,
Glistening on mountain peaks;
Leaves fall, life surrenders, motion slows.
Outside my window, not quite winter,
Dramatic changes revealed,
Pleasing aspects of autumn gone;
Leaves fall, life surrenders, motion slows.
From the mountain, Sparrows seek food,
Dark-eyed Juncos, need shelter,
Western Scrub Jay, caches peanuts;
Leaves fall, life surrenders, motion slows.
In the distance, to the West,
Leaves fall, life surrenders, motion slows.







“I’am going to miss you, my Scrub!”

White-crowned Sparrows and Dark-eyed Juncos showed up, at my house, a couple of days ago – winter is on its way!
Photos taken today, in my backyard!
