30 September 2023 (promises)

promises to keep

a trailside flicker feather

points south

29 September 2023 (choosing)

choosing family . . .

waxwings gather among

mountain ash berries

28 September 2023 (harvest moon)

harvest moon reddening poison ivy

27 September 2023 (spindrift)

spindrift —

the rising swirl of gulls

in an eagle’s wake

26 September 2023 (a mystery novel)

a mystery novel

left open on the table

migrating geese

25 September 2023 (what we talk about)

what we talk about

when we talk about love

wild asters

24 September 2023 (swaying)

swaying spruces —

a bleary half-moon

sinks into the sea

23 September 2023 (equinox)

equinox sunrise

the old apple tree leafs out

with waxwings

22 September 2023 (mountain ash)

mountain ash berries . . .

a branch of waxwings shares

the sunset

21 September 2023 (moment of silence)

moment of silence

in the island church . . .

the shushing of waves

---

in memory and celebration of Sue Jenkins, a wonderful human being

20 September 2023 (between me)

between me and the stars

intermittent chip notes

of migrating birds
