Road Trip (Haiku)

break in the weather – /
at last, free from the cabin – /
best winter road trip //

happy energy /
gives wings to my snowy feet – /
simple joy in song //

This post is written for Bastet’s Pixelventures. Our task was to listen to music that inspires us, and then go on a picture-taking spree.

I didn’t quite do it like that … but … close enough!

For those of you who live overseas, you should know that the Eastern United States has been hit by one snowstorm after another – and abnormally cold temperatures – for the past couple of weeks. We had a snowstorm yesterday – and we are going to have another snow (and ice) storm tomorrow. ["Today", by the time you read this.] Plus, this weekend we are expecting yet another large snow storm.

I had to take advantage of today’s relatively good weather! It was too beautiful not to do so.

I was driving to the prosthetist’s office today – a hour-long trip through the Michaux State Forest – and listening to The Beatles. Twist and Shout and Eight Days a Week always make me feel happy and energized.

rattle your jewels /
the cheeky smart-aleck said – /

When I caught a glimpse of this trail (second photo) at Caledonia State Park I had to get out and take a few photos. A simple trip to the doctor’s office led to several micro-excursions – photos at Caledonia State Park and New Oxford.
