Four Seasons (for Tadpole Contest)

by Kimberly Bare

spring
~~~~~~~~~~~~
tiny blossoms shake
in the gentle rains of spring
new awakenings


summer
~~~~~~~~~~~~
star-studded heat
settles over shrubbery
wild wings flutter


autumn
~~~~~~~~~~~~
flurry of fallen
leaves are kaleidoscopic
prepare for slumber


winter
~~~~~~~~~~~~
stark, barren land
softened by the weight of
fresh fallen snow

these are so great! I especially like autumn (evening slumber, and the greater slumber of the natural world as it prepares for winter) & (kaleidoscope of leaves! yes!) and winter with the softening of winter's barrenness by the snow. the spring one is also very cute & true, and the summer one hints at coolness to be found in shadows. So glad to have this as an entry in the Tadpole contest! yay! great job

i love this, autumn is wonderfully brilliant! i am sure that this will be unmatched in the contest, however even if it is not the winner there, it is in my heart. :0)

These are great instant captures of the seasons. My favorite is winter - the contrast between the stark and barren landscape softened by the snow is simply marvelous!
