the sky, the ocean
and the shade too
all falling into blue
Falling Into Blue
The Road Into Summer
from the respite of shade
blue skies of opportunities
just up ahead
Anemone And Oak Leaf
still blooming and setting bud
even as the leaves fall
illustration of hope
Stopping By The Marigolds
cooling down
in the petal shade
of the mid-day sun
Grasshopper’s Side-eye
hey lady
yeah you in the straw hat
who you lookin’ at?
Pass Through
the opening itself
an invitation
to step into the light
Giver Of Water, Giver Of Life
in the garden
lives a serpent and savior
the holy hose
Respite With Roses
climbing the trellis
the rose
makes its way to heaven
Innocence
white peony
purity expressed
in petals
Like A Dream
a kaleidoscope
of butterfly-flowers
alight on the lawn
Respite
the worn bloom
finds shade and support
on the rock wall
in the bud yet to flower
The Days Move Fast
chasing the last of summer
through the young woods
the sun’s rays always just out of reach
Summer Afternoon
these clouds carry
shade not water
and still we are thankful
Prayers For July
let the flowers be wild
the days long
and the tree shade deep
To Make Friends
life presents us two companions
joy and sorrow
our task is to hold their hands simultaneously
A Fleeting Fame
duet of iris
took their moment
in the sun
Mountain Flower
blooming in the woods
for the delight
of trees
Commencement
some say white
is not a color
but a beginning
Openings
between the heron and the house
morning wanders across the meadow
charming the new day
Before Us
summer stretches out
in sunshine and tree shade
idle days and lemonade
Circle Garden
at the threshold between sunshine and shade
the circle sculptures speak
of life’s liminal spaces
Seen And Seen Again
birch in the sun
are echoed as
icicles in shade
Venetian Blinds
shade
is drawn
by leaves
Amongst Blooms
in the petaled shade
a monarch’s
momentary pause
After Labor Day
summer’s heat
still shimmers
in the tall grass
Another Scorcher
wading in
deep shade
on a hot summer day
Could It Be
the details
on the butterfly’s wing
cast light instead of shadows
The Garden’s Green Surf
the shade
like wave sets
crashing on the lawn
Rose Flames
no need to light the torch
the yellow rose bush
is blazing
Summer Is Unbridled
when
the wild flowers
roam
