a palm warbler responds

to my pishing

each body

casts its shadow in the snow

mountainside trees

the sunset glow

of snow on the mountain

. . . feeder finches

Halloween morning

a trick of the light

warms the hillside

never alone

on the forest trail

rustling leaves

distant crows . . .

afternoon light bronzes

the mountainside

summit

morning mist rises

to meet us

24 April 2021 (summit)

hike to the summit . . .

hawks high overhead

soaring northward

social distancing

empty acorn caps

cling to the branch

priorities

the small fruiting bodies

of lichens

disappearing act

mountain hidden by mist

as I drive away
