Winter: Marjolaine Brodeur

02/02/202401/30/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Looking at the way the fog and rime made the area where seems attractive filled me with wonder. Then, later that afternoon as the sun made its way towards evening, the sky was tinged in pink with the noon providing light instead of the day’s sun. I wished so much to be able to take … Continue reading Winter: Marjolaine Brodeur

Nighttime Surprise: Marjolaine Brodeur

02/02/202401/30/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

No pleasanter could have been given me in the middle of the night than the appearance of three stars visible in the night sky; one in the South and two in the East. After months of only seeing the moon, to see this spectacle brought a measure of joy to my heart. Though modernity had … Continue reading Nighttime Surprise: Marjolaine Brodeur

Tears: Robert St. Germain
