A swath of heather by the road, a cluster of crocuses on my walk from office to parking lot, the beginnings of leaves on the new-to-me bushes in my yard, and green leaves jutting through the ground. Yes, it’s chilly, but the inevitable turn of the seasons progresses, inevitably.

I decided to continue on after a year, because this document had become a treasured reflective spot in my life. There are some changes in "Year 2," expanding options for my weekly poem beyond sonnet to add some other forms-- rondeau or triolet, villanelle. I added the decima in late January 2010, and the pantoum in August. Definitions of each form appear below. I continue to post a photo daily, but may post several pictures taken on one day over the course of a week if I have an interesting series. I may even post an old photo if I'm writing about something I'm thinking back to. I'll continue to have fun with this project; I hope you will too. For Year 3 I tried including other people in the self-portraits that accompany my poems, adding "Musical Sundays" to post mp3s of my music, but these petered out in a few months. This is simply a place for my daily thoughts & photos, and weekly poems in the forms I love. Onward...!
The signs of springs are slowly appearing…before too long you’ll be at the beach.
