This week the Buddha in my backyard, covered with snow until a few days ago, made his spring début amidst mud, and melt, and a winters worth of sunflower seed hulls scattered from the feeders.
In response to the Photography 101 prompt, “warmth.”
Oo i remember him from Fall!!! 😮

Yes, he’s my backyard Buddha! He enjoyed my husband’s parents’ garden before moving to ours. I’m sure I’ll take a few more pictures of him as the seasons change! 🙂

Thank you! Buddha will still look happy when that snow all turns to mud… which might be today since we are having steady rain right now! Spring has begun 🙂

Thanks for the smile. As I was reading your poem, I wasn’t expecting Buddha to make an appearance 🙂

Glad to have made you smile! Buddha’s bald head poked out of the snow first and within a few days the rest of him began to emerge. Today there’s only a small patch of dirty ice next to him amidst the mud. I should really plant a few snow drops next to him so there’s something green nearby when the snow melts!
