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...

lunch alone
without a book
I read my mind

sunning  the day away turtle time...

sunning
the day away
turtle time…

DSCN5687

how relaxing
to watch a turtle
do anything…

sunning the day away turtle time...

stretching
as only a turtle can…

closed-
deep inside
a light

saved from the day they left...

saved
from the day
they left…
