The Winter's Rain



A single thin silver cloud skidded effortlessly across the late winter sky pushed by a cold bone-chilling wind. The puff of moisture threw a scattering of shiny sequins across my lonely empty deck as if in a Mardi Gras parade.   Within seconds this float of airy moisture drifted beyond sight and barely waved adieu, replaced by the twinkle of the sun's slow smile to dry the silver coins that had been left behind.

  6. It's hard to see cold in a photo sometimes. Of course if you took it there is no mistaking! Stay warm (spring is almost here.)
