13 August 2022 (rain)

unfallen rain . . .

bees in the mint

heavy with pollen

12 August 2022 (cardinal)

the cardinal’s song

becoming more intense

summer rain

11 August 2022 (wood duck)

the wood duck’s whistle

as she flushes from the reeds

summer rain

Happy birthday, Mom! xo

10 August 2022 (rain)

just the sound of your voice summer rain

9 August 2022 (rain)

the hush of summer rain at dawn mourning doves

8 August 2022

where the house burned down

a field of wildflowers

fledgling finches

7 August 2022 (heat)

summer heat

the beguiling blue eyes

of a dragonfly

6 August 2022 (swim)

swim float

the splash of my dive scatters

the damselflies

5 August 2022 (haze)

summer haze

the roadside crowded

with Queen Anne’s lace

4 August 2022 (loon)

loon calling in flight

dawn of another

crazy day

3 August 2022 (haze)

afternoon haze

the wheezy calls

of the young titmouse
