A Photographer's Day

A photographer's daily day
Ka-chick, Ka-chick
Was what they heard as they
Took a picture of a sunset stretching across the valley,
Their breath coming out in fog in the cool, winter air.
Crunch, Crunch, Crunch
Was what they heard when they walked across the 
Snow to get in position for another shot.
Ka-chick, Ka-chick
Another picture.
It came out a little blurry but 
They tried out a different angle.
It came out a lot better than the last one.
They turned the camera off and the shutter closed.
They walked off into the sunset
Ready to take more wondrous pictures
And to enjoy the little specks of life 
That are always surrounding us
If we look for them.

    The sweet smell of nectar fills the air,

    I swoop down to the flowers,

    I see buds on the trees,

    Maple Syrup


    Maple Syrup

    Sugary water,
    dripping,
    dripping,
    Slowly filling up the buckets,
    Maple boiling,
    Until at last,
    Sugar,
    Slow moving,
    delicious,
    dropping onto your pancakes,
