dog days . . .

crows in leafy shade

with beaks wide open

24 July 2025 (morning cool)

morning cool

my toes pluck a sprig

of white clover

16 July 2025 (new clothesline)

new clothesline the river glinting through sun-dappled leaves

15 July 2025 (a spiderweb)

a spiderweb

right across the face

morning dew

2 July 2025 (afternoon haze)

afternoon haze

the incessant whining

of young crows

1 July 2025 (fresh strawberries)

fresh strawberries . . .

a pair of young crows

side-by-side on a branch

25 June 2025 (river glare)

river glare —

three fledgling crows

harry their parents

11 June 2025 (hanging laundry)

hanging laundry

a glimpse of my neighbor’s

lacy pink azalea

4 June 2025 (a chipmunk warns)

a chipmunk warns

of an aerial threat

wildfire haze

29 May 2025 (river)

river swelling with rain the rattle of a wren

28 May 2025 (morning sun)

morning sun

spring’s first swallowtail

flits past the lilac
