dragonflies, haiku, nature, photography, photos, poetry

summer side of life
so many places
to love

 

dragonfly mating
dragonfly landing together
dragonflies with their shadows
blue sky and goldenrods
goldenrod slope along old railroad bed...
blue sky gap...

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
