5 July 2026 (welcoming)

welcoming

the first daylilies

wildfire haze

4 July 2026 (independence day)

independence day

a child squats to pee

in the beach sand

3 July 2026 (heat haze)

heat haze

vacuuming cobwebs

from every corner

2 July 2026 (noon ferry)

noon ferry

lion’s mane jellyfish

bobbing in our wake

1 July 2026 (a bowl of cherries)

a bowl of cherries

as a thank-you gift

morning heat

30 June 2026 (unseasonable heat)

unseasonable heat . . .

one crow picks up

what another drops

29 June 2026 (dense fog)

dense fog

bagpipe music rising

from somewhere in my past

28 June 2026 (morning fog)

morning fog

the white blur

of multiflora roses

27 June 2026 (morning fog)

morning fog

in my mind I’m going to

Carolina wren song

26 June 2026 (childhood)

childhood reflections ripples in the tide pool

25 June 2026 (cooing dove)

cooing dove . . .

sun-warmed ferns

perfume the glade
