23 May 2020 (bee)

afternoon sun

a bumblebee pauses

on my lunch tray

22 May 2020 (owl)

losing myself

in your dark soulful eyes

barred owl

21 May 2020 (warm)

finally warm enough

to crack a window…

thrush song

20 May 2020 (forget-me-nots)

the blue

of my grandfather’s eyes

forget-me-nots

19 May 2020 (sparrows)

domestic issues

a pair of song sparrows

mates in my yard

18 May 2020 (butterfly)

lost in thought…

a cabbage white flutters

around the violets

17 May 2020 (beech)

just when

I’d forgotten how it felt

beech leaves

16 May 2020 (crows)

still-leafless trees

pondering the motives

of crows

15 May 2020 (blackflies)

before the rain

oppressive clouds

of blackflies

14 May 2020 (waxwings)

visitation

a host of waxwings descends

upon our maple

13 May 2020 (ferns)

upriver

unfurling ferns

flag the path
