a speckled woodpecker

a yellow butterfly

a black cat

seems

everyone wants

to drop by

today 

our visitor

possibly

a warbler

tiny

flitting about

yellowish green

orange 

mountain ash

berries

here

gone

~

a lovely

sighting

on

an overcast

day

 

in the air

the sky is very hazy

eerie and subdued 

filtered through particles

from forest fires

miles and miles away

~

marigolds blooming

golden

ochre

burnished

light

a discovery while watering on a hot hot day...

just when you think

that you couldn't be happier

with your randomly seeded

wee blossoming sunflower

you see a ladybug

nestled 

in

between

the petals

September

one of the wee 

sunflowers

(likely seeded by a Blue Jay)

is just beginning 

to reveal

her petals

on this

the

first

of 

the 

ninth

~

on this

lovely 

late summer's day

safekeeping wishes

for everyone

near

and

far

far 

away
