remnant...

...of a snowflake

indeed it snowed last night... late into the early morning hours - very big, wet heavy flakes... the kind that would weigh down the limbs of trees if it remained around too long... but when i arose, this was all that was left...

drops... drops... drops... scattered hither and yon on the grass - twinkling in the shifting sunlight - drying rapidly in a cold, wicked wind... wearing a winter coat, flipflops with my hair whipping about my face so i could barely see - i ran about the yard quickly snapping the few remnant drops... i heard a couple of doors slamming and wondered if the neighbors thought a mad woman had been let loose in my yard. since no kindly police arrived on the scene - i sighed... realizing they'd figured out it was me who'd gone mad... camera in hand - making for...

a

happy day.....
