on this sunny bright 2nd day of Christmas...
a walk around the neighborhood...
finds most trees now nearly bare...
victims of a couple of days of strong winds & rain...
the big trees in the park, now, have only mistletoe...
to crown themselves...
where once choirs of songbirds took cover...
is now the lair of Druids prize...
the water just beyond, gives rise to a thickening haze...
in the afternoon's brilliant sun...
a light who's southern angle is already low...
and dipping fast at only 2 PM...
if the winds die down... the fog will rise...
and maybe freeze again, like it did last night...
by New Years, all the leaves should be gone from the trees...
and so to slumber in the depths of winter...
to await the return of the coming of the light...

Love the second pic with the dramatic shadow across the street! And look at all that mistletoe, wow.
...thanks...the 1st one is of the "lamp post" tree[aka the Narnia tree]
which I was too lazy to crop...after being too lazy to frame it properly in the BRIGHT sunlight...
I went home ...did the post...
took more pain meds & a long nap...
for some reason...[?]
I'm exhausted today... :p
