Methodical Transition

The bare trees stood waiting for their buds
A new chapter of growth and beauty to begin
Lush green color will take over the landscape
Long before the multiple colors will explode
A bear scraped bark off a tree the other day
The shavings were left beneath on the ground
Nuthatch continue to climb them upside-down
Woodpecker are hammering their holes for nests
There is a lot of transitioning activity around
While these story telling trees seem to rest
They lost many branches in the wind recently
Still, the growth of life drips with sap methodically

I simply love trees, over Christmas, we were on holiday in the Midlands in Kwazulu Natal. I have never in my life seen such an abundance of beautiful trees, never ever. I was in awe, I thought I knew South Africa, but this was a unique revelation. Love this write Heidi, Hugs, blessings, Jennifer.
