blue to gray in just a week

By David A. Giacalone

You can often find me at the end of my block of Washington Ave. in Schenectady, gazing at the Mohawk River. Here are two full-color photos I took around 5 PM on the last two Saturdays. The promising early thaw of March 1st has yielded to days of rain, melted snow, and flood watches. The lucky folk among us will find the beauty in both scenes.

march rain –
a flood-warning sign

Admit it, you still haven’t taken our advice and headed over to see the March 2008 edition of The Heron?s Nest (Vol. X, No. 1). Here’s our final installment of haiku by f/k/a Honored Guest Poets from the newest THN. Consider yourself teased and nagged.

thin moon
a harrier hawk
working the field

sprng rain
a detention pond

coffee berries
the conversation turns
to another ill friend

waiting for the heron
to turn my way –
winter rain
