blue shadows

crawl across the snow
reflect trunks and branches
tufts of lichen
curves of bracket fungi
curls of bark

blue shadows
nuanced in ultramarine
and pthalo
a dab of violet
but never grey
~
sinuous, diagonal
gaps of light
slow alteration
with angle of sun
no flicker of foliage

an intelligent world of blue
Yesterday, we went on a drive along the Saint John River from Oromocto to Jemseg. We hoped to see some birds or other wild life. But we didn’t even see a crow!!!!

However we did see the world painted in a sweet-toned shade of blue … the ice on the river, the long shadows on the meadows and the sky. I was reminded of Douglas Adams and his tribute to hooloovoo ‘blue’.
