twin pinecones
start their journey
spring to fall

maple buds
make a splash in the woods
bird song

sun filters
through pine branches
red robin

rainy day
on the road's edge Canadian geese
March madness

five hungry sparrows
on a mulberry tree
rainy Sunday

Tosha
comes to be petted
sweet lady

Tiko
bounces everywhere
feline escapee

raindrops
on a leafless branch
March

ice breaking off
roars like thunder
melting glacier

ice sculpture
shaped like a sleeping seal
Alaska

hard frost
on my windshield this morning
where is spring?

prairie smoke
blooms in tall grass
virgin meadowlands

land bonnets
under melting blue ice
Alaska

change is certain
but at what price?
melting glaciers

glacier ice
calving into the ocean
Alaska

wolves
surround my old home
bad dream

blue ice
heart to a glacier
Alaska

a flower
spun from milkweed seed
natures bounty

seal
stretches neck to morning sun
dawn prayer

herons
fly off their nests
red-tailed hawk

wind
and water in predawn swim
seal colony

wildflowers
overshadowed by a volcano
Alaska

an eagle rests
after a morning hunt
good shore fishing

seagulls
linger for leftovers
bear corridor

young bears
play in the blue surf
Alaska

snow melt
the last day of February
slouchy puddles

rain folds
the day open
winter

the taste
of rain on the wind
November

scent
of one peppermint lead
refreshment

two swans
feed along the shore
bottoms up!

pumpkin patch
along Rochester Road
November patchwork

deer bark
at the edge of the woods
Stony Creek

trying to capture
the blue heron in a photograph
fall weather

whomp whomp whomp
of a Trumpeter swan
Stony Creek lake

blue heron
flies across road
still sky in November

raven attacks red hawk
soars with aeronautical grace
Stony Creek

pine trees
in front of a golden dawn
Vermont

wooden fences
beauty in a Vermont farm
summer pastures

early morning
farmer feeds his livestock
wooden cart

lavender skirts
a rose and gold dawn
Vermont
