High Over My Head – The Birch Trees And The Sky

November afternoon sky in town (view from my balcony)

 

  

Left: Birch tree “block of apartments” for town birds! (picture taken about one month ago)

Right: Three weeks ago, the birches in a town cemetery still in their golden autumn glory.

Below: Last Sunday: Defoliated birch forest out in the countryside; and “country cottage” bird house.

Going out to my parents’ old house, I got off the bus a couple of stops early,
and took a roundabout walk through the woods to get there.
Just having viewed the birch trees through my camera lens outside,
as I entered the empty house I was struck by a very similar view
hanging there on the wall to greet me.

 

I’m entering this post for Friday My Town Shoot Out (‘Over Your Head’) and Skywatch Friday.

Skywatch Friday: Break

 

For a while, the rain took a break.
For a while, the train took a break, too;
stopping just under the bridge.
For a while, all was still.
