beneath a bower
of blossoms
Legacy
a wake
of beauty and calm
The Spider’s Muse
the tulips for inspiration
before she began spinning.
Spring Fling
a riot of color
bursting into bloom
Spring’s Magic Carpet
the magic flowering carpet
waits for travelers to board
In The Dirt
call for joy
the day transformed
Shown The Way
points the garden
towards blooming
Intensity
the tulip
passionate with color
May Storm
and tender perennials
shiver beneath a blanket of snow
They Appeared From Seemingly Nowhere
of bloodroot
laughing in the sun
Dearest Neighbor
allow for longer visits
with the flowers
Protection
guard
this year’s growth
Between The Tulips And The Iris
tiny explosion
a potency
of blue
Early And Late
alternately
April blooms in
petals and snow
The Garden’s Shape Emerges
spring begins
with a kaleidoscope
of greens
Bounce
discovering
joy in
everything
Resurrection
spring
is born again
Enormity
its tiny size
somehow made
the joy of its discovery
more enormous
Equinox
a touch of snow
first day of spring
March in the Northeast
Spot Of Green
the spice of ginger
sweet sight of snowdrops
a feast for winter weary eyes
In Sync With The Landscape
the garden bed
and puppy
curve
A Wishbone Branch
will spring
or snow
get the bigger piece?
Garden Lights
sunflowers
still holding
summer sun
Defying The Elements
sweet hydrangea
her summer bloom lingers
on a honeycomb of petals
Keeping Company
the garden shed
and branch bench
share the wait for spring
Remembrance Of The Forgotten
the fluidity of bloom
forgotten
the force of bloom
memorialized
To Thrive In All Circumstance
weather the storm
and make it
a flower
She Persists
the celebratory nature
of the garden persists
despite winter’s imposed dormancy
Oak And Heuchera Juxtaposed
rain revealed
a still purple leaf
preserved by cold
Light In The Leaves
shining like gold
glowing like embers
light is life
