there may be rain
there may be weeping sun
but even fragments of
autumn wintry trees
add colour to the moment#tanka

Fried Green Tomatoes...

On a grey, wintry Sunday, still robed in jammies, I'm diving into a treasured reading memory. This book still brings laughter, tears + a good mix of fascination.
p.132 'a bright red cardinal swooped out of a snow-covered tree and made a Christmas flight across the white horizon.' pic.twitter.com/DMcSv6YZ2N

artistic doorway...

Doorways are generally a sign, an invitation to explore further... a kind of 'go-between' your space+and what could be...
But then there are doors that demand a pause, appreciative attention to their unique beauty...a marvellous work of art...
This door is of the latter kind... https://t.co/BGI0kKUloi
