25 August 2024 (a meadowhawk returns)

a meadowhawk returns

to the perch he flushed from —

bent goldenrod

heat index

goldenrod crowds

both sides of the trail

20 July 2024 (early goldenrod)

early goldenrod . . .

where the trail forks

a question mark

22 July 2023 (first goldenrod)

first goldenrod . . .

a faded flannel shirt

damp with fog

27 September 2022 (late afternoon)

late afternoon light . . .

butterflies bend

the goldenrod

September 14: Goldenrod

now i get it
sunset spotlighting
the goldenrod

September 8: Goldenrod

sweater season
bees warming up
on the goldenrod

September 11

Remembering.

Goldenrod shakes under

the weight of bees.

August 22: On the trail

We hiked in to spend the night at Poplar Stream Falls Hut, part of the Maine Huts & Trails network near Sugarloaf Mountain.

On the trail, late August--

goldenrod abuzz with bees,

one red poplar leaf.

August 14: What gets me out of bed

Better than coffee--
waking to blue sky,
goldenrod blooming.

August 7: Goldenrod

First glow of goldenrod--

the field shifts to gold,

summer's mood downshifts.
