Warmth of The Winter Sun

Daily Note

Every day, a photograph, a poem. An art challenge this week is to show “apricity,” which means “warmth of the winter sun.” So I took some photos of our crab apple tree in today’s bright sunlight in weather that feels like winter. I wore my winter coat and hat for our walk and, before we went back home, we shook a few crab apple trees to drop the apples for the mule deer in the neighborhood.

So today, art and poetry….

Art

I watched a “live draw” today with Liz Kohler Brown using the shell pattern layout. I turned it upside down so the hanging apples would better fit the pattern.

Poetry

Warmth of the Winter Sun

Blue is bright
That sky in winter
Light are rays
That sun in cold
Warmth of color
Those leaves in light
Eyes look up
They wanting warmth
And Winter Sun
It’s blessing shines
Through blue
Through autumn’s leaves
Through shivering cold
And shares its apricity.
