12 September 2024 (half moon)

half moon

her sly smile visible

in the dark

24 October 2023 (flagging light)

flagging light

fallen leaves hide

the welcome mat

13 December 2022 (early dark)

advent calendar . . .

the glow of windows

in the early dark

19 November 2020 (deer)

early dusk

a deer in the yard

no one else sees

2 November 2020 (dark)

the darkness

grows even deeper

Day of the Dead

8 October 2019 (cat)

early dark

waiting at the front door

a one-eyed cat

5 March 2019 (curtains)

late winter

closing the curtains

before it’s dark

November 21: Light in the darkness

facing down the darkness

at the end of the street

hazy crescent moon

November 15: Dark early

Darkness by 5.

Hoping I don’t meet a skunk

on my way inside.

November 11: Queen of the Night

Streetlight’s out.

Surprised at the front door

by Cassiopeia.

October 27: Rising wind

Wind rising with dark--
the one tree with all its leaves
roars like a waterfall.
