how easily
the cloud shadows pass
over the hills

 

 

country roads
Stevenson Rd. -- long look
country road ...
a dog barking... the road goes on and on
vines crowning a tall stump 9-2-16.
a beauty of a mailbox on Snyder Hill Rd. 9-1-15.
a beauty of a mailbox on Snyder Hill Rd. 9-1-15..
a beauty of a mailbox on Snyder Hill Rd. 9-1-15...
near the graves...the grain of wood comes to light...
the beauty of undoing a stand in time...

all the time
ending and beginning
the universe

 

 

sky blue seen through shade
thin crescent...
Cayuga in sunset afterglow
after the sunset
after the sunset on the water
bottle In the garage on the window sill watching the days come and go ...
the silence of the ages before us...
Queen Anne's Lace clenched
first day of school
oak trees have been dropping a bumper crop of always neat looking acorns...
oak trees have been dropping a bumper crop of always neat looking acorns..
oak trees have been dropping a bumper crop of always neat looking acorns

in line
grazing together
sheep mind

 

 

sheep lined up with one mind
sheep mind
sheep with their nose in their business
sheep mind
sheep salad
sheep graze together
sheep grazing in morning light

I had  no place
to go
but went anyways…

 

Cloud heaven on Dodge Rd. 9-1-16
clouds galore on Stevenson Rd. 9-1-16
clouds on their way someplace further...
clouds along Stevenson Rd.
circling as if that were all there was to do...
wings aloft
crows in flight...
wings high overhead
I had no place to go but went anyways...

all that was will be again and again…

 

may as many flowers possible bloom for you...
a soft focus of clouds on the surface of the pond...
too many dreams to follow and know...
all that was will be again and again...
all that was will be again and again... 5-24-16
all that was will be again and again... 5-24-16 b
On the railroad bed walkway-bike path the pretty view in one stretch... 5-24-14
a tree gathering light before the day ends...
a light breeze through the new leaves....
the peace in the garden within the garden
Fall Creek bathed in sun near Flat Rocks today... and there were people in the water... first swimmers seen for me this year... although they may have just been wading. 5-24-14
