Our World Tuesday: a year in the life

I'll leave it to you to guess which seasons these photos represent in southeastern Alberta, Canada.

With Real Toads: open link cinq

Kerry has left us alone for a week, with Marian to make sure we aren't, to use Sherry's word, obstreperous. What can I do to get into trouble now?
It is Open Link Monday for the writers' group Imaginary Garden with Real Toads and we are invited to share a poem, old or new, on any subject we wish. Aha, but it has to be a poem, said Kerry, before jumping ship and turning the tiller over to Marian. So, a poem, but a little poem, it shall be:

winter:

freezing, snowing;

summer: hot and glowing;

spring and autumn are best for me—

mediocrity!

My world changes with the seasons

The Alberta prairie was unusually green this year,
due to unseasonably heavy rainfall.

As autumn approached the prairie, the greens faded
while yellows and beiges became more predominant.

Ever patient, Lindy waits while I take a photograph of the sky,
then lets me take one of her, too.

In our yard, some trees were bare and ghostly
even before other trees turned yellow.
