4 September 2024 (the moss)

the moss cool

under my bare feet . . .

late-summer crickets

3 September 2024 (rustling poplars)

rustling poplars . . .

a night-heron hunches

on the neighbor’s roof

2 September 2024 (a cranefly slips)

a crane fly slips

through an open window

late-night tv

1 September 2024 (along the dirt road)

along the dirt road to the village the sea

31 August 2024 (golden hour)

golden hour

the chickadees’ dee-dee-dees

spotlight a merlin

30 August 2024 (sunlight)

sunlight starlight . . .

question marks cluster

on fallen apples

29 August 2024 (morning chill)

morning chill unsettling calls of blue jays

28 August (family farm)

family farm

a quartet of crows surveys

the just-mown hayfield

27 August 2024 (sun filtered)

sun filtered

through ash leaves . . .

magical thinking

26 August 2024 (morning thunder)

morning thunder

a patch of Queen Anne’s lace

shakes with rain

25 August 2024 (a meadowhawk returns)

a meadowhawk returns

to the perch he flushed from —

bent goldenrod
