The soft trills of a screech owl an hour before dawn. I sip my coffee as quietly as I can.

It's one of those perfect winter mornings from my childhood: bright sun on deep snow and even the shadows sparkling as I shake my head.

The crescent moon behind the trees gives the newfallen snow an antique cast. It's very cold. A distant train is the only other moving thing.

A spotlight from the other house gives me my first good look at the new landscape: soft focus and unlikely curves like a Playboy centerfold.

Sound is out of the east, and the sun's a dimple in the gray. The feeder birds squabble. Would I guess a storm is coming if I didn't know?

A cloudless morning. The squeaky chatter of winter finches, so forlorn on an overcast day, now seems like the sound of happiness itself.

A new half-inch of snow. The wind brings traffic noise from over the ridge and the nasal calls of a chickadee. A tree cracks its knuckles.

My meditative sit is spoiled by the incessant scolding of a squirrel, set off by a feral tabby. Now I know why Nanzen killed the cat.

@tinydoctor Yes indeed. (So should we start a movement to make March rather than April National Poetry Month?)

@tinydoctor Careful, now. That's my birth month you're talking about!

Wind and water, scattered chirps of winter finches, the sound of two freight trains going through the gap: exactly the music I needed.

@pathways Great eye! That's the kind of subject that really separates the artists from the shutterbugs.

@joshix Awesome. What was the picture?

Walking naked through the cold house at dawn, I'm startled by a bright light among the trees on the western ridge: the moon, big as a banjo.
