20 July 2020 (sunflower)

face off

with a sunflower

high noon

19 July 2020 (phoebe)

afternoon fog

a phoebe fledgling

rehearses one note

18 July 2020 (lilies)

morning heat

yellow day lilies spill

down the hillside

17 July 2020 (blues)

in quarantine

learning the harmonica

he’s got the blues

for Chris, and all those taking up interesting pastimes during the pandemic

16 July 2020 (crows)

morning light

swift shadows of crows

cross the lawn

15 July 2020 (sparrow)

humming to myself

something from childhood…

white-throated sparrow

14 July 2020 (lucky rock)

reality check

my lucky rock clatters

in the dryer

13 July 2020 (hen)

island dawn

my neighbor’s chicken

lays an egg

12 July 2020 (snail)

fogbound

a snail’s silver trail

across the path

11 July 2020 (robin)

morning coffee

we listen to a robin

instead of each other

10 July 2020 (webs)

fog burning off…

the scattered lawn webs

sparkle
