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 ...

late summer…
a trance of sun
on lily pads

 

turtles on a log 9-26-16
turtles balance the sun on a log
turtle line up on a log at Sapsucker Woods 9-26-16
turtles vy for space on the log
late summer... the trance of light on lily pads
turtle swimming in light
turtle surfacing -
turtle suspended -
this life suspension...shadows of leaves in the pool
water over the dam...
leaf in a shallow near Potter's Fall...
turtle covered in green in duckweed covered pond at Sapsucker Woods 9-26-16

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
