31 May 2019 (azalea)

morning mist

bumblebee barely rising

from the azalea

30 March 2019 (beaver pond)

beaver pond

the patterns of water

that lead to the lodge

29 May 2019 (catbird)

catbird’s shadow

or the catbird itself

amid the new leaves

28 May 2019 (dandelions)

so much rain

the blown-out umbrellas

of dandelion seeds

27 May 2019 (pollen)

puffs of pollen

marking the warbler’s passage

through the spruce

26 May 2019 (bell buoy)

Cathedral Woods

distant bell buoy

calling me in

25 May 2019 (ferns)

deep in the woods

cinnamon fern unfurling  

the wren’s long song

24 May 2019 (warblers)

warbler fallout

the long half-life

of this joy

23 May 2019 (crabapple)

budding crabapple

taking it all

too personally

22 May 2019 (daffodils)

trading birdsong

for daffodils

green friendship

21 May 2019 (rainbow)

ecstatic swifts

perfect soundtrack

for a rainbow
