Some more #smallstones to contemplate

I have managed to keep my promise to myself and continued to write more #smallstones well into February...

8th Feb

Lemon yellow roses that bloomed & blossomed before the snowfall seem sad, heads dip, their tips scorched a bronzed curled twist #smallstone

As the sun dips beneath the horizon, a full faced moon rises, shines, basks in the suns reflected glory, turns coral-orange-pink #smallstone

9th Feb

There is nothing so precious as the softness of a newborns skin, as pale and delicate slender fingers grasp & hold on tight #smallstone

Frosted fields glisten, a frozen carpet of diamante lustre, reflected sun light dazzles, illuminates trees hung as glittering candelabra #smallstone

10th Feb

Darkness descends, section by section the expanding clouds knit together then multiply and hide the moon and stars #smallstone

The earth seems to draw closer to the night sky as an amber glow of street lights reduces the distance of this closing night sky #smallstone

Feb 11th

Sheer delight, a pale morning sky floods with lemon yellow stands threaded through with suffused light of salmon pink filaments #smallstone

Smothered in powder soft snow flakes the intricacies of bare branches are enhanced their frail outlines decorated to advantage #smallstone

Feb 12th

Silent sentry’s stand in regimented rows feet firmly planted in snow dressed soil inert photovoltaic panels face/salute an overcast sky #smallstone

Feb 13th

Bedraggled left-overs of snow cling in awkward shapes. Some, rounded softened mounds, others peaked, marooned in a green ocean #smallstone

Feb 14th

Glorious cerise pink flowers of the Camellia bush no longer bloom bitten by frost the wafer thin petals turn tissue paper brown #smallstone

And I continue to attempt to limit the use of the word snow...
