The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.
Actually after the Oscars finally ended last night I slept better and longer than ever. But the rain left its tracks.
So I wore my gloves for my morning walk but made the mistake of wearing a big black cowboy hat instead of my Greek fisherman's cap. With the breeze blowing it was a struggle to keep it on.
But my al fresco visit was not without reward. Our redbud tree is all budded out.
It's still pretty early but it won't be long (he said) before these many buds will turn into red blossoms.
And then they will disappear and the tree will be covered with green leaves providing a safe lurking space for the finches and other birds directly above our bird bath.
But right now they look nearly good enough to eat, don't they?
Nice shot of the redbuds. Perhaps you need a stocking cap for windy morning jaunts.
ReplyDeleteIt's 46 degrees there right now. Wow.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking that they looked good enough to eat.
ReplyDeleteYou need a Gortex OR (Outdoor Research) hat! It has a string under your chin. I know I am a true Arizonian when this weather hits I don't want to go outside. To think of the years tromping in blizzards knee deep and thinking nothing of it! I must have been insane.
ReplyDeleteI could go for some of that weather. It would be warm here.
ReplyDeleteLove those buds on the tree! I talked to my sister yesterday morning and she said it was raining up there then while the sun was shining down here. But, that didn't last long, we got some rain too. I don't think as much as you but enough to leave some puddles here and there.
ReplyDeleteMarvels of rain and buds...
ReplyDeleteI love redbud trees - but it will be QUITE a while before the one on the corner starts waking up!
