Traveling_SOLSC20 4

While traveling north to Central New York for a statewide conference presentation, I marveled at winter at play

Wind-whirling morning
breezes by.
Reeds rustle.
Branches sway.
Winter-braving elements
seen at play.

Barren birch hugs
the ground. 
Nature tugs
as winds go round.
I watch surprised
at winter's play
while I travel 
on this day.

Midway through the drive, my colleague and I stopped at the Roscoe Diner, a favorite stop during my children's growing-up years. For old time's sake, this photo was taken just like in years past.

You may wonder why the greeting card shows a circle of fish. Roscoe, N.Y. is a favorite spot for fly-fishing advocates.

  2. The personification of winter playing is lovely. Love the Roscoe Diner photo. I always associate fly fishing w/ Montana and Idaho. You’ve shattered my stereotype! 😉
