1172. red on red

red on red

irresistible to birds

hot stuff

Red on red on red. They make me think of the Red Hots candies I ate as a kid. I can’t help but wonder if these berries are sweet hot or spicy hot….next time I’ll take a bite!

1171. midnight moon

 

icy moonlight

has me shivering

but beautiful

*

dark the night

the moon lights up

a pearly sky

No matter how cold the night, the moon in all its splendor forever stops me bold. I pause to gaze with wonder at its hold on me and on every other thing alive. 

1170. holding on

 

the tree next door 

its orange leaves so lively

cheers me

Nothing but gray skies.  Nothing but damp, chilly, boggy, foggy, misty skies day after day can bring you down, but that tree next door still holding on to its gay autumn leaves reminds me to keep on keepin’ on, no matter what.
