21.1.12

california winter

against the grey sky, after much rain
three tall palms flex and sway
in ruthless, endless wind;
in my neighbor's yard,
bright oranges punctuate
green leaves, white blossoms

Except for the part about the blooms - it could be my yard in CO! It's been a strange winter!

Some interesting winds blowing out your way. A golf tourney was put on hold because of the high winds. Sometimes I see the palm trees as ballerinas touching their toes with their tutus up in the air...

Wow, great simile, Jules!
I'm surprised you have no snow, Barb!

Thanks to both for commenting. Is January almost over?

Love how the wind is a 'character' in this one! Best, Laura H
