Birds and Berries in Black and White

Crows

In the early sunlight, a few glittering snowflakes danced on the the wind, unwilling to take off their ballet slippers and settle down on the ground.  On the deck, birds set off little puffs of snow as they hopped around gathering scraps of food.  The crows, emboldened by their hunger, made a move on the bird feeder.

Jigsaw

In the hollow with Barley this morning.

From a distance,

the rocks that make up the creek bed appear to be a uniform gray,

but on closer inspection, certain patterns appear.

There are dimpled rocks,

rocks with gray, orange and tan coloration,

rocks with large indented arcs,

rocks that look like maps,

striped rocks, petrified wood, sparkly rocks,

 rocks enclosing treasures,

                                      

like puzzle pieces strewn out by a careless giant.
