It's so obvious that the season is changing. And how nice that it's going into the one most of us love the best ~ even though, here in northern New Mexico spring is not the best of the best of seasons. Really, it can be quite awful. This morning's moonset -- last full moon of winter -- was gentle and lovely. I didn't dare go outside to photograph it in the biting morning cold ~ we'd had a fresh snowfall during the night ~ so, in my PJs and with a mug of hot genmai-cha tea steeping, I aimed the camera west from the kitchen window!
Tea and notebook in early morning. Sense of change in the air. Cold, but not threateningly so. Promise of cloudless sunny sky. Mercury may be in retrograde, but at this time, I don't really care!
Last night, snow. This morning
full moon sets into
pale pink blue light.
A raven flies low
over the house, followed
by a half dozen matching others,
whoosh of wing, I see
underside of deep black feathers,
each perfect shadow passes
the last full moon
of winter.
