#850

Lush, green summer ferns

Yearn for outdoor heat and sun 

In winter window 

#830

seeking perfection 

somewhere to put a large shrub

to block the neighbors 

#829

late August morning

thunder and heavy rain yield

blue skies returning 

#828

in the shady yard

dappled sunlight meets pine boughs

weakened yet still hot 

#826

chipmunk eating crops

tunnels in yard bear witness

late summer garden 

#824

summer blossoms fade

not yet willing to give in 

cling to dying stems 

#823

not yet visible 

green frog hides from summer heat 

in the garden pond
