pretty new year
and pretty new snowflakes —
my old bones



This is my January 2012 The Shiki Monthly Kukai;
Got 4 points! - Pretty good, I'd say!

Returned sun

Sudden daylight -
the crow and a magpie
changing latest news



This is built from this:

Busy daylight -
rounded stones hiding
under a snowfield




Today the Sun is back in Utsjoki; it rised at 12.19 and is setting down at 12.41 local time. Here in Southern Finland 09.07 - 15.53 LT. (Utsjoki 70 degs N. as we are in 60.50 degs N.)

In this world
there is something more
than just snow?

wintry snow

freezed rains -
time to worry
global sea levels




We got just some snow. Delighted for that, too. Our river is still "free".
