Daily Note Every day, a photograph, a poem. On one of our walks through Cole Park this week, I snapped this picture. The deer had been in the park road, saw Guthrie coming, and stotted up the hill. They turned around to watch, as they usually do, wondering, “Is it dangerous?” It’s really amazing. The barely move, just enough to keep an eye on the dog and ever ready to bound away. They are…

Snow on Fiddle Creek

#clmooc #smallpoems Snow on Fiddle Creek

on Flickr Daily Note It’s snowing again today, although this photo is of Fiddle Creek in Cole Park in February of 2019. It’s peaceful and we often greet the local mule deer on our walks, even in winter. If you look closely, you’ll see one in the upper right. There may be more! No matter how many times we see them, or how many times we view the freshly fallen snow, each takes our breath away–…

WriteOut Smile Path

Smile Path: a frequent thing-- detour around the mule deer #clmooc #DS106  @ds106dc #tdc3932 #writeout #smallpoems

on Flickr A Smile Path A Smile Path is one of the curves around something in the way– a detour around some small impediment. Here, our usual path is up the stairs and into Cole Park, but today, after acknowledging the beautiful mule deer napping in the dappled sunlight this particular afternoon, we turned left to go around, to allow her the place she claimed today, which we witnessed, and…
