softened by fog . . .

first swallows

rising sap

a pair of nuthatches

spirals the maple

12 April 2022 (loons)

loons on the lake . . .

remembering the night

of my sister’s birth

11 April 2022 (green)

spring river

the green of new leaves

the green of moss

spring flooding

the river the color

of money

morning mist

a phoebe’s voice somewhere

by the river

8 April 2022 (showers)

April showers . . .

a row of empty plant pots

waits by the shed

7 April 2022 (whiff)

a whiff of skunk . . .

chive stalks poking through

last year’s leaves

6 April 2022 (haze)

a haze in the air

from a hatch of midges . . .

first phoebe

5 April 2022 (salt marsh)

salt marsh sunset

the cries of a killdeer

hidden by reeds

spring sun

a ladybug’s shadow

crosses my desk
