30 April 2026 (hairy cap moss)

hairy cap moss

the doe watches me

walk away

29 April 2026 (raven's call)

raven’s call —

the cracks of cobbles

rolled by a storm surge

28 April 2026 (whiff of skunk)

whiff of skunk . . .

a roadside ditch brimming

with coltsfoot

27 April 2026 (spring sun)

spring sun —

on the back porch savoring

a peanut butter cup

26 April 2026 (emerging birch catkins)

emerging birch catkins . . .

a fat-cheeked chipmunk

dashes under the shed

25 April 2026 (lingering cold)

lingering cold

the distant scold calls

of a hermit thrush

24 April 2026 (vernal pool)

vernal pool . . .

tufts of deer hair

snagged in alders

23 April 2026 (waxing day moon)

waxing day moon —

a peregrine swoops down

to her quarryside nest

22 April 2026 (red maple flowers)

red maple flowers . . .

any minute now

more rain

21 April 2026 (scattered snowflakes)

scattered snowflakes —

bloodroot leaves curled tight

around their buds

20 April 2026 (wind chill)

wind chill

a dream of the tropics

resolves into ospreys
