sound of skates

children’s squeals...sound of skates

spinning a butterfly's wing

even this leaf
may be transformed
into a butterfly’s wing

ode to winter

ode to winter... a spider pulls the strings

crunch of snowshoes

winter first light...crunch of snowshoes

autumn staircase

autumn staircase...to the winter full moon

cat claw swish

furnace fan flitter...cat claw swish

no room for the junco

full house...no room for the junco

autumn reflections

to cross...i straddle autumn reflections

old birch

old birch

all night wind

morning stars

our greenbelt

our greenbelt-

from city water

ducks thrive here

breakfast for finches

from winter wind...breakfast for finches

specter of the sandhill crane

from winter snow-

specter of the

sandhill crane

savoring the fall

as autumn fades...i savor every moment

winter cascade

winter cascade-
into the tracks of
children’s joy tears

a thousand years of fog

in my eyes...a thousand years of fog

i hear a fog horn

damp autumn dusk...i hear a fog horn

forest pond reflections

forest pond-

afternoon breeze

rustle of autumn aspen 

winter dreaming

winter dreaming-

endless fields of 

daffodil’s trumpet

summer finale

summer finale-

my thoughts

too deep for tears

fragrance of flower frost

on my breath...fragrance of flower frost

chocolate mousse

chocolate mousse-

frozen in 

autumn starlight

summer scatter

in summer scatter...aroma of autumn

ptarmigan mother

alpine summer rain-

mother ptarmigan

clucks in her chick

landing on ptarmigan lake

alpine lake landing-

bad weather

is not an option

autumn full moon has stole the stars

autumn full moon...has stole the stars

cat catcher

cat catcher-

soft pillow

toasty heater

instant of first light joy

deep dark sorrow-instant of first light joy

webs of damselfly wings

daylight full moon-

couched in webs 

of damselfly wings

blood orange dawn

out of autumn snow...blood orange dawn

his gentle nuzzle

his gentle nuzzle-

a soft blanket

by a warm fire 

a summer nuzzle

dark bitter winter-

a summer nuzzle

from my honey tea 

a raindrop falls on her tongue

a raindrop falls

on her tongue-

she orders the soup 

the summer sun flutters back

for a moment-

i see the summer sun

flutter back

morning yawn

his morning yawn-

a little wider after

the all night rain

fog froth tracks

limp moonlight-

riding all night 

on fog froth tracks

'cheer me ups' in the window fog

autumn blues-

i draw ‘cheer me ups'

in the window fog

my eye candy

the sun will eat it...my eye candy
