She Persists

the celebratory nature
of the garden persists
despite winter’s imposed dormancy

Oak And Heuchera Juxtaposed

rain revealed
a still purple leaf
preserved by cold

Light In The Leaves

shining like gold
glowing like embers
light is life

Milkweed Snow

the snow
before the snow
beginnings in endings

Susan Stayed Late

her smiling eyes
outside the window
still

Summer Blooms Summon Fall

the garden’s call of color
an invitation
to the leaves to turn

Dahlias In The Background

bookends of summer
monarchs on
Buddleia
