Autumn turns to Winter

A week ago

I walked along a river, the sun was out, it was lovely and warm. There were rocks cuddled in moss. 

The previous snow had melted away,

it felt like autumn again.


 Western larch, though fading, 

still appeared as golden torches lighting up the mountains.


This seed pod was maybe an inch long. 

I have no idea what plant it is. This close up shows me details my eyes could not see. I am mesmerized at the design for protecting and sending off it's seeds. 

Let me know if you know what it is. 


For two days it has been snowing.

It is a winter wonderland out there.
I plowed for the first time of the season. 


The little birds are busy as can be, 

collecting seeds and seem happy as can be.


I never know who I will see when I look out the window!
