Closer

Variegated Fritillary, November 2023
  



Our wide sweeping world
keeps drawing us in, drawing
us ever closer

(and out again)

Autumn Blue

Spiderwort, November 2023


 


Not in your greenhouse
not in my ceramic pot 
Autumn blue in bloom

Only

Sunrise Reflected, November 2023




Only make the turn
and catch the sun rising in
the place where you live



* I was in the backyard early to feed the birds and take photos of a dazzling sunrise. When I turned to go back in the house, I caught the reflection framed by the bedroom window and the bright blue sky above.

Faithfully

Mockingbirds, November 2023


 


Faithfully guarding
a nearby nest of young ones
just learning to fly




* It's not really the season for young mockingbirds to be leaving the nest and learning to fly, but as the parent of young adults, it's what this season feels like. How I love to see them fly.
