after the sunset

walking home with

the scent of lilacs

2 June 2026 (lilac breeze)

lilac breeze

the chatter of swifts

too high to see

26 May 2026 (lingering)

lingering

at the empty mailbox

lilac breeze

28 May 2025 (morning sun)

morning sun

spring’s first swallowtail

flits past the lilac

14 May 2025 (just before moonrise)

just before moonrise

the purple tinge

of lilac buds

10 June 2024 (new moon)

new moon . . .

fireflies mingle

in the scent of lilacs

18 May 2024 (warm front)

warm front . . .

shaking the lilac leaves

a bird or rain

29 May 2023 (along the path)

along the path

to an old cemetery

scent of lilacs

23 May 2023 (white lilacs)

white lilacs without scent . . .

smoke from distant wildfires

dims the sun

1 June 2021 (lilacs)

southerly wind

the fog redolent

of lilacs

23 May 2021 (lilac)

lilac day moon

the scent of the breeze

off the water
