turning

leaves rustling on

treetops

in burnished

sunlight

golden

golden

golden

all is turning

the larches

are the last

to

know

Leopardus tilcayo

a diminutive cat

in the cloud forests 

of Bolivia

the first new feline species

indentified in over

a century

welcome the wee

ones

 

spinning

on a late afternoon

in the waning days of summer

spinning ideas for a new project

a sudden appearance on the windowframe:

a spider

a large

impressive

imposing spider

and you find yourself in

awe

and in

spired

to get busy

to get

weaving 

buzzed

neighbour cat strutting around

one paw shaved

a little less fur

no less bossy

no less fancy

no 

less

prancing 

 

squawks

and then suddenly

one day

it seems that there are

magpies

everywhere....

as they fly...

or, sit perched on neighbouring

concrete garbage bins

outside

Catch of the Week

a pair of crows

sussing out the takings

the leavings

vis a vis

what

have 

you

(or what you had and then tossed away)

today is...

international

whale shark day

gentle giants

of

the

sea
