Intimate details in nature
And there are more flowers and blooms; There is the fragrance of deer and foxes, morning birdsong, and the buzzing of bees.
1.
Sometime in the night
stuck! On an invisible path-
hanging by a thread
2.
Frosted Lupine
in the camera window-
the Milky Way!
3.
Did the startled fox
pause for a moment passing
the Triplet Lily?
4.
Pink and white abuzz-
dance between Crabapple blooms
vibrating fragrance
5.
Today I’ll plant more flowers.
In the poppy’s womb
petals of salmon splashing
fragrant waves of green
Breeze above the creek
in the many footsteps’ shade
-dandelion blooms
1.
Wind whipped whitecaps
ride breaking sea waves
-iridescent bubbles
2.
Tossing a pebble-
the lake surface shatters
sparkling waves
3.
Melting snow-
thunderous mountain waves
breach at rivers bend

Carried by the sun
shadows and their branches
night’s rising moon
1.
Walking step by step
small hand around my finger
-spring morning dewdrop
2.
All day long in spring
and into the evening -green!
dewdrops on branches!
3.
In a clear spring sky
sliver of a faint young moon
-evening’s first dewdrop
I spent the last week quietly: off of the computer, no pencil and paper, email or reading.
My schedule allowed me to walk in the early morning and late evening.
I did take pictures quietly in the cool morning and warm evenings.
Below is a photograph from each day.

In the midday sun
crossing the Prairie Willow
the glow of her steps
1.
Their beautiful glow –
golden Crocus pedals closed
in bitter spring winds

3.
I lie on the lawn
bees buzz flower to flower
-sky of shooting stars
A water splashing
the sound of a fallen tree
ripples in blue sky
