schemes

the tiny spiders have decided:

it's time

time to break into the slumbering land

of sleepers everywhere

to cast their skeins

and weave their webs

of hope and kindness

they promise better 

brighter dreams and waking days

for everyone

#33

a sad day for the robin count

while out on a walk

an encounter with a struggling

redbreast

sending out healing

wishes for all 

the winged ones

 

Sunday less sun

poppies nodding

under raindrops

scampering

magpies

friends near

dear

and far away

 

silver sliver

there is a single

skein

lit by the bright

late afternoon sun

caught in shimmering

glimpses

a shining line

been drawn up

and out

into

the ether

Q

do the teeniest

tiniest spiders

weave webs

too small

to be seen? 

solstice

on this shortest night

wishes for long and peaceful days ahead

wishing for peace

for everyone

sweet sounds on a sunny Sunday

feathery notes

everywhere

getting busy

the 26th robin

has a lot to say

and so do 

the chickadees

blue jays

and magpies

so listen up

bipedals

the winged ones have

messages

for you 

the second Tuesday in June

and the smell of lilacs

on a rainy, rainy

afternoon

Cyanocitta cristata

this afternoon's visitor

on the fence

a blue jay

here and then

gone

stay safe

little jay

and come again

soon

patio posies

geraniums

marigolds

poppies

coleus

pansies

sedum

some dr. seuss like plants that i forget the names of

begonias

begonias

begonias

world oceans day

giving thanks for

turtles

porpoises

manatees

octopi

vaquitas

dolphins

whales

sharks

clams

mussels

fish

fish

fish

and all creatures

of the sea

rainy monday

water droplets hanging

from a string on the neighbours'

patio lights

a line of yellow pollen

drawn on the wet pavement

at the end of the driveway

leaves gently rustling in the wind

everything seems somehow

slower

softer

quieter

on a cloudy

drizzly

day

today's walk in the hood

lilacs

poppies

hostas

caragana

rhubarb

irises

tulips

the 10th robin

all out on

the 2nd of the 6th
