prairie burn the short-eared owl perches on a charred cedar
cave entrance we only go as far as the sunlight will take us
longer days a pair of goldfinches just passing by
spring peepers no way to adjust the volume of their chorus
swollen feet the many reflections of tupelo
cattle egret in the middle of the day both of us at a standstill
red, yellow, orange the indian paintbrush with an autumn palette
the water boatman ferries itself across the pond
cedar apple rust creating its own type of bloom
buckeye butterfly we share a moment on the sandbar
blazing star quenching my thirst for color
frost extends the borders of a red oak leaf
glade reverie in each ladder of success another flower
a grayness follows the farm plow bonaparte's gull
the sugar maples already dressed for winter
