Dogwood in spring.
Dogwood in autumn.
spring dogwood’s lushness
shrivels in autumn’s death grip
last leaves cling to life

That’s such a beautiful picture of the flowers and robin, Anneli. The best thing about late autumn is that we know the leaves will be back. 😊

Hahaha. It’s a long, long city block before we get to that corner, but I’ll wait here with you anxiously anticipating spring.

Oh. Wow. Those two photos say soooooooooo much. My heart melts at the spring scene and shrivels at the winter one. But I know to have a magnificent spring, we need the frosty rest offered in the winter.

Me too – melting and shriveling – but I’m ready for spring … already! Hope you’re doing well, Pam.

Your words capture the quiet elegance of time passing, from bloom to fall.
I can almost see the leaves clinging desperately, a testament to resilience.
A simple haiku, yet it holds the profound cycle of life and change.

Thank you. I always find autumn is a sad time. I like to look at the spring pictures to keep up my hopes for better (warmer and more comfortable) times.

Even autumn, in its fading, whispers of beginnings yet to bloom.
Spring lives quietly inside us, even when the leaves fall.
Hope is simply the seed waiting for warmth — and you carry that light.
