Fall Approaches

as everything changes
keep flowering

Ghost Tree

spotlight of sun
backdrop of woodland shade
flowering stalk takes a star turn

The Explorers

emerging from their rock wall den
into the bright morning light
and hunting lessons

putting the garden to bed
a startling glimpse of spring
the foreshadowing anemone
