Brooding Sky Haiku

Posted on January 10, 2021 by Mike

the dark of winter
nature’s  metamorphosis
promise of new life
 
a challenge for us
when the lights are dimmed too low
remember autumn
 
my wife still loves me
winter cuddles are great fun
how I adore her

I waited for this shot as the foal was a bit jittery and its mother on guard.

Autumn is nature’s way of apologizing for the cold and grey winter to follow.
