Fourth of July

fresh strawberries

in a blue Chinese bowl

3 July 2025 (afternoon heat)

afternoon heat

a tattered swallowtail

sips from a lily

2 July 2025 (afternoon haze)

afternoon haze

the incessant whining

of young crows

1 July 2025 (fresh strawberries)

fresh strawberries . . .

a pair of young crows

side-by-side on a branch

30 June 2025 (fresh strawberries)

fresh strawberries

the soft crooning

of my neighbor’s chickens

29 June 2025 (rattlesnake root)

rattlesnake root . . .

choosing the path

less traveled

28 June 2025 (summer rain)

summer rain

petals of wildflowers

cling to bare legs

27 June 2025 (new moon)

new moon

from somewhere in the woods

a dance beat

26 June 2025 (mackerel skies)

mackerel skies

the bleached rib bones

of the last whale

25 June 2025 (river glare)

river glare —

three fledgling crows

harry their parents

24 June 2025 (heat wave)

heat wave . . .

swerving to avoid

the smashed turtle
