Winter is now dancing with Spring
daytime temperatures are high and snow is melting
the creek is a mix of flowing and frozen
night time temps are cold
and waters freeze over
along the shore
snow
grass and ice
crystals grow at night
these were needle small
along holes where animals or people have stepped
teeny hands of crystals grow while we sleep
and melt in the day
I do not remember seeing these seeds in our creek before
(they are floating in the water, or frozen to it)
I hope it is a native plant
~
so we've arrived at the in-between
of winter's breath
and the lively dance of spring
a metamorphosis of one season turning into the next
hibernation
turns to thaw and freeze
every day
until
spring will reign
~
I find it all so beautiful to see
~
I am joining a wonderful group of artists
this weekend,
letting the word: Metamorphosis
inspire them to create in any way they wish
and share it on their blogs
