20 October 2020 (siskins)

snow in the mountains

a flock of siskins

crowds the feeder

19 October 2020 (basil)

morning chill

the last of the basil

fills a vase

18 October 2020 (leaves)

sunlight through red leaves

we look up

when we talk about heaven

17 October 2020 (leaves)

as if they have

minds of their own

falling leaves

16 October 2020 (massage)

massage

the soothing sounds

of passing traffic

15 October 2020 (apple)

a new red ladder

propped on the apple tree

fall sunrise

14 October 2020 (sirens)

on a back road

I pull over for sirens

crimson maple

13 October 2020 (rain)

rain at last

the river raises

its voice

12 October 2020 (plants)

winter is coming

I play god

with the patio plants

11 October 2020 (crane)

fall foliage

the crane’s red crown

flesh not feathers

10 October 2020 (leaves)

continuing drought

the colorful leaves

too much like fire
