6 August 2023 (feet wet)

feet wet with dew . . .

from an open window

flute music

5 August 2023 (the sound)

the sound of laughter

between thunderclaps

Friday night

4 August 2023 (morning rain)

morning rain

a day lily bud opens

in the vase

3 August 2023 (backdrop)

backdrop of blue a jay plays all the parts

2 August 2023 (the ferry slows)

the ferry slows

for an ocean sunfish

waxing day moon

1 August 2023 (clouds)

pregnant clouds . . .

I allow myself one more

piece of chocolate

31 July 2023 (ebbing)

ebbing tide

shorebirds

sweep the beach

South-bound Least Sandpiper

30 July 2023 (whitecaps)

afternoon whitecaps . . .

a fledgling gull

flexes its wings

29 July 2023 (morning)

morning sun

the snake slips out

of its skin

28 July 2023 (sun-warmed)

sun-warmed beach stones

a snake the color

of new grass

27 July 2023 (in my shorts pocket)

in my shorts pocket

a yellow periwinkle . . .

fog burning off
