the barn endured
dutifully
despite the wear
Double Helix
there it was
the chain of life
in the curves of the leaf
Cay
an island
on thin ice
asylum for sunshine
Singular Ambition
one acorn
waits to grow
a forest
Diamond Drops
the only tool needed
for mining beauty
was observation
A Winter Radiance
here a rainbow rises
of colored branches
behold this halo of joy
Oak And Heuchera Juxtaposed
rain revealed
a still purple leaf
preserved by cold
This December’s Interval
rock, leaf, ice, snow
elements and artifacts
underfoot
The Other Word For Courage
may your hope
be as sturdy
as the oak
Chipmunk Dance
tiny feet
keep the beat
to the music of life
Light In The Leaves
shining like gold
glowing like embers
light is life
Snow Fern
browned fronds
their intricacies
flocked
Berry Cacophony
bright and bursting
rambling scrambling her colors
across the landscape
In Community We Nestle Together
like kernels on the cob
our places distinguished
by proximity to each other
Bellicose Beauty
running wild
with the grapes
scheming bittersweet
The Old Dame’s Rock Wall
huddled together
against the cold
warm in company
Calling Card
fall left
a sweet pink
goodbye
Concentration
a potent joy
in the brightness
of crabapples
Tomato
ripeness
ascends from
the blossom end
Inward Outlook
deep
in the weeds
perspective is elusive
The Same And Different
claiming self
notwithstanding
similarity
Heat Collection
pools
of sunshine
gather in the meadow
Deliverance
in the gathering darkness
inexplicably arrives
the light of hope
Praise
upon a tree
a lichen rose
praise to anything that grows
Emergence
the past
arises
from the ice
Fishbone
fish skeleton
swimming
the ocean sky
Starfish
a sudden
summer memory
the seaside captured by cold
Spied
merest
hint of green
hope enough for March
So Elaborately Entwined
dare the tree
stand without
the vine
?
Magnolia
latticework
of bud and branch
holding up blue sky
