Millhaven Creek – Ontheland

Millhaven Creek state of mind

In response to the Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: ‘State of mind’:

There is a view I’ve been longing to photograph–accessible from a bridge for two-way traffic, only wide enough for one vehicle at a time. The bridge follows an incline and a bend in the road, making visibility less than ideal. For these reasons, I am reluctant to stand on the bridge, especially with the added complications of ice and snow. Energized by restlessness and above zero weather (1ºC), I decided to do drive-by photos through my open car window.

∼

Rippled waters rushing,
ice sheets melt
retreat.

Car window open wide,
I watch
from bridge above.

 Glass ice shimmers,
patchwork patterns
intoxicate.

Naked tree branches,
Feast of asymmetry
 graces evening sky.

Late winter dance at the creek

∼

Light flashes sparkle,
Rushing creek gurgles break dance!
Cracking ice dissolves.
