27 May 2019 (pollen)

puffs of pollen

marking the warbler’s passage

through the spruce

26 May 2019 (bell buoy)

Cathedral Woods

distant bell buoy

calling me in

25 May 2019 (ferns)

deep in the woods

cinnamon fern unfurling  

the wren’s long song

24 May 2019 (warblers)

warbler fallout

the long half-life

of this joy

23 May 2019 (crabapple)

budding crabapple

taking it all

too personally

22 May 2019 (daffodils)

trading birdsong

for daffodils

green friendship

21 May 2019 (rainbow)

ecstatic swifts

perfect soundtrack

for a rainbow

20 May 2019 (shell)

morning fog

shining on the sand

yellow periwinkles

19 May 2019 (roots)

roots exposed

along the shore path

family secrets

18 May 2019 (gulls)

island harbor

the gulls too rising

before sunrise

17 May 2019 (fog)

a fog bank

hiding the bay between us

anniversary
