miles from home the sandhill cranes refueling in a farmer's field
a veil of mist reshapes the canyon
morning coffee some flower dust on a honeybee
notes of sunshine the seconds trilled away by birdsong
aquarium a young boy's laugh finding the clownfish
the red lichens with their own language scrawled across the rocks
I catch my breath on a steep hill--the gumbo lily
fern green the lushness surrounding the waterfall
hands of a climber the rolling hills before the mountains
tanawha sunrise the hawk's profile
first snow the cat runs back into the house
this winter a siskin's moment with the goldfinches
haiku inspired by my journal and a 2021 nature calendar
