a fly lands on the fan

of iris leaves

cool of dawn . . .

two crows pick their way

across the yard

a vulture circles

over the hayfield

moonset

a touch of ocean

in the damp air

full buck moon

our backyard becomes

a glade

storm front

the day lilies bend

before it

the prickly state of the globe thistle

Japanese beetles mate

on the basil

over the meadow

one dragonfly becomes six

high noon

summer rain . . .

a cardinal still singing

somewhere upriver

frittering away

my lunch hour

great spangled fritillary
