doing nothing

late summer…
the trance of sun
on lily pads

 

 

late summer... the trance of light on lily pads
this quiet reach of trees and light...
in bundled bunches a mess of milkweed seeds ready to go....-
flowerfull display...
walking alone- submerged logs come to light ...

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...
