Weekly Photo Challenge: Spring

Posted on May 7, 2014 by treshabarger

Baling hay

Baby animals

New growth

Little Pink House

Little pink house sitting on the corner
Paint fading over the years
Your garden’s thistles feed generations
Of bees, butterflies and finches

Lace windows smooth life’s sharp edges
Diffuse the brutal midday sunlight
Your threshold offers shelter
Wrapped in memories of children’s laughter

Little Pink House, beckoning

Butterfly feeding on a thistle

Lesser Goldfinch feeding on a thistle

Honey bee feeding on a thistle

Just checking to see if anyone is home at the Martin house

Full ponds and warm weather
A sure sign that it’s spring
Making the frogs hop and sing

‘Tis the season for their song
Their serenade lasts for hours and hours
Invading my sleep, making it sour

How do I request an owl fly over
Just a need a little silence
Before throwing shoes over the fence

I considered retaliation
Singing before dawn on the pond banks
Disturbing the frogs in the tanks

My neighbors might take offence
Feed me to the frogs, claiming self defense
Turn up their air conditioner and sleep soundly

Stupid frogs

I know you are in there. I can hear you.
