AND HE STANDS ALONE, WAITING
I have followed the life and near death of this Oak, watching as HE ages – his old tree bark changes colour, the leaves come and go, and the arrival of the many woodpeckers and squirrels who arrive to be with the Oak, remind us to watch the old tree
Snow, Paint and Cloth
I don’t really like snow or should I say winter in general. Growing up in Niagara Falls Canada, we celebrate winter with the Festival of Lights. Queen Victoria Park is decorated with over one million lights. Lights in the trees, on the buildings and even the Falls themselves take on
Winter Cold
Winter Cold It’s a great honour to choose a theme. Above all, it is very exciting to see what everyone has done with the theme. Like I said, I didn’t want to make it too difficult. Hence my choice “change of season”. There is another reason for the choice. I worked
Last Hurrah
Karol KusmaulWe don’t get much distinct seasonal change here in Florida, especially the further south you are. It stays pretty green here year round. Some of us miss the seasons, and enjoy visiting places where it snows in winter and the leaves change in the fall. When we received the
Flowers that call for summer
I was born in a town at the foot of Mt. Fuji, one of Japan’s most iconic mountains. The mountains are covered with snow in winter. In the spring, the snow melts and seeps underground, and in early summer, it flows into my home town as a beautiful stream. In

Japan’s four seasons
4-4 chang of season Japan has distinct seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. In addition, the long terrain from north to south shows the scenery of different seasons in each region. The changing seasons create a rhythm in our lives. However, nature can sometimes be severe and threatening, such
Season of Darkness, Season of Light
Inspired by an artist friend who is blind and has a season of darkness and a season of sight.
CHANGE OF SEASON
When we are young children, we are in the Spring of our lives. Our parents and Grandparents nurture us with love and protect us from danger. They feed us, clothe us, and teach us. We are at their mercy. We haven’t a care in the world! Everything is full of
Scribbly Note to Self
I know that most of you have enjoyed the possibilities of the prompt this time – Change of Season as, in the Northern Hemisphere, you have such distinct changes in the seasons. The material to work with is stunning and the images plentiful. I live in the middle, temperate latitudes
Awaiting a Change – could tomorrow be the day?
Once in an evening, just after the end of this day in December 2023 took its last hour to share the beauty and strength of the power and yet the mystery of what lies ahead…. we seek the hope and sharing of even a possible opportunity to look beyond, and
