30 July 2025 (peach pie)

peach pie

at the picnic table . . .

the summer’s best sunset

29 July 2025 (pine shadows)

pine shadows . . .

ferns brush the car

on the road to camp

28 July 2025 (a gull waits)

a gull waits

on an empty picnic table

pea-soup fog

27 July 2025 (baby apples)

baby apples

beginning to redden

a catbird’s rambling song

26 July 2025 (clamor of gulls)

clamor of gulls —

wildfire haze

veils the mainland

25 July 2025 (night vision)

night vision

amid all the satellites

a falling star

24 July 2025 (morning cool)

morning cool

my toes pluck a sprig

of white clover

23 July 2025 (the whine)

the whine

in a young crow’s voice

unripe blackberries

22 July 2025 (morning light)

morning light

a fishing boat’s hum

shifts as it leaves the harbor

21 July 2025 (first cicada)

first cicada —

the weathered green door

of the artist’s studio

20 July 2025 (gathering clouds)

gathering clouds

a meadowhawk pauses

at the path’s edge
