An autumn afternoon,
resting on branches
birds and leaves
2
A pine needles lands
in a palette
of autumn snow
3
You just lost your leaves
Burning Bush in the front yard
holding all this snow!
Mid November, #57
Nature Life
Intimate details in nature
Drops, #56
Last night’s raindrops lie
like spring blossoms
autumn’s flower bed
October – November, #55
The autumn moon wanes
dancing by the Venus star,
not a cloud in the sky!
First frozen autumn dew
hurry, look! look!
before it melts away!
Mid October, #54
Afternoon autumn sun
Fragrance of Ponderosa Pine
Butterscotch or vanilla?
On the lakeshore
A seedling wavers
On a thread
Golden Aspen leaves
Taking flight
Dancing in autumn’s breeze
Autumn Winds, #53

Morning’s blowing leaves
Find themselves now floating
In another dream
Autumn Clouds, #52
Autumn clouds
passing by
without a sound
Early October, #51
1
Walking to the office
there was autumn
sneaking in between the trees!
2
The coyotes’ yips and howls
infuse with the light
of the night’s harvest moon
3
On this autumn day…
A Lanceleaf in bloom
on the side of the road
Autumn Afternoon, #50
Autumn afternoon
In the shade of a tree
Shining gold plums
September, #47
1
Summer evening
Zazen in a guest’s backyard…
Crickets chirping
2
Before dawn
The empty patio table
welcomes a summer moon
3
Summer evening
Old poems, stories, and singing…
Bathed in sunset’s orange glow
Surface, #44
Piercing the surface
from the depths and the sky
without a ripple
