Once a flower

Now just seedlings

Flying away

July 15, 2025

Pearled oyster

Caught in the waves

Sparkles with joy

July 11, 2025

A single pearl

In an ancient shell

Lost on a sandy beach

July 9, 2025

Daphne flees

From Apollo's desires

Becomes the tree of crowns

July 1, 2025

Some days you are

Just looking for an idea

Taking a break for a few days

June 30, 2025

It's tomato time

The abundance upon us

Overwhelmingly delish

Small blossoms

Tossed by the storms

Breaking the heat

June 28, 2025

The snake thief

The egg

No longer Eden

June 27, 2025

A bagful of tiny roses

Arrives

Bursting with color

Life is a bowl of cherries

Sweet, juicy

Fleeting

June 25, 2025

Nestled in the curve of my heart

The begonia blossoms

Smile with delight

June 24, 2025

Hydrangea skeletons

Still on the bushes

A new look

June 23, 2025

As the heat dome

Expands

Everything dries out

June 22, 2025

Distorted reflection

What is lost?

Who is hungry?

June 21, 2025

Blooms and buds

Float down the river

Huge rains last night

June 20, 2025

Perfect and imperfect circles

Which is best?

June 19, 2025

A conversation

Shouting or stoic

But touching none the less

June 18, 2025

The monkeys journey

Into the unknown

Like us worried and eyes covered

June 17, 2025

The perfectly balanced white Lily

The calm that follows

The storms of before

June 16, 2025

Despite everything

Dance for

Joy

Stand tall and straight

In the face of fear and challenge

No Kings Day

Blue Friday

As we look around

Our world

That gives all summer long

As it morphs into more interesting things

Ages so beautifully

Why can't I?

Ever more popular with me

Returns again

Aged Magnolia

and passenger

ride the waterfall down

June 9, 2025

Ripe apricots

So delicious

So fleeting

June 8, 2025

Open and closed

The magnolia falls

Heavily into the stream

June 7, 2025

Tulip Poplar so emblematic

Of spring

Stepped on by many boots

June 6, 2025

Lasting only a day

The lily revels in the sun

Daisies nearby

June 5, 2025

Grasses and flowers

In the bright June sun

So beautiful

Eyes down

The most amazing things

Appear in the cracks

June 3, 2025

The poppy sheds its petals

As the rest of the bouquet

Falls apart in the water

June 2, 2025

June is finally here

flower abound

Drenched in the rain

June 1, 2025

even in early spring

Leaves are fresh and fraught

falling on the ground

May 31, 2025

A dark and rainy day

Puttering around the desk

Stuff accumulates

May 30, 2025

The elements of spring

Gathered for a salad

Green deliciousness

May 29, 2025

The old leaves still cover

the wet ground

as another spring shower appears

May 28, 2025

In the clouds

Resting against a striped sky

The blue flowers shine

May 27, 2025

Hydrangea blossom

Peaks out to see

If spring has come

May 26, 2025

Little green pennies

Growing wild but

No longer minted

May 25, 2025

Portrait of a fish

Caught and on ice

Caught my eye

May 24, 2025

 

Evil creeps along the sand

The apple is so tempting

Hang on!

May 23, 2025

Long rainy day

Sorely needed

Clematis relaxes in the puddle

May 22, 2025

The purple clematis

Shines against the night sky

Climbing ever higher

May 21, 2025

The end of the peonies

I love the mess

The loose petals

May 20, 2025

As I lift them

The peonies collapse

Fall into the bowl of water

May 19, 2025

Floating on a windy night

The flowers drift

The way my mind drifts

May 18, 2025

Crackled mirror makes the flowers

Look so interesting

Sitting in the green purse

May 17, 2025

Petals stacked like pages in a book

Falling apart quickly

Another rosy peony

May 15, 2025

Thundery, blustery day

Brings down

Even new growth

May 15, 2025

Old roses on the old hat

As bright as the new roses

But without thorns

May 14, 2025

A bunch of flowers

A woven shoe

Lost in the grass somewhere

May 13, 2025

Stolen roses

Frozen to save

So pink and delicate.

The rose arbor

Gentle May

Hovering ghost

May 11, 2025

A pink posey

A green glove

How preppy

May 10, 2025

Swept away by wind and rain

The dogwood branches

Rush down the creek

May 9, 2025

Clad in snakeskin

As elegant as I imagined

Attracting whistles

May 8, 2025

Shadows on the wall

A complex dance with

Les Muguets

May 7,, 2025

Scallions bloom

Bugs creep and crawl

If only the butterfly ate them

May 6, 2025

Fear in a soft wooliness

As he climbs up the stem

Thanks, Katy

May 5, 2025

The artichoke just fits

In the old purse

Reflects in the smoky mirror

May 4, 2025

Dropped spring posey

Ground into the pavement

Such a loss

May 3, 2025

Sacred dogwood

Do we believe the myth

Why are there tiny holes on each petal?

5/2/2025

Bright pink on Monday

Pale and crumbling by Wednesday

The rush of spring

5/1/2025

The thing about spring is

Wait a day or two

And it blooms

4/30/2025

Pansy faces

Looking up

From their wintry bed

4/29/2025

Blooming from Eve's tears

As she departed from the Garden of Eden

Still poisonous

4/28/2025

Floating and fading

The roses at last

Lose their thorns

4/25/2025

La vie en rose

Not always pink

As the music dies

Happy Birthday

Remember all the good times

Love of my life

4/25/2025

Roses End

Blowsy and wilting

Waiting for sundown

4/24/2025

All dressed up

And stepping out

Will I have the chance?

4/23/2025

Tulip Poplar all along the bridge top

The flower bud just a suggestion

Wait for the bloom

4/22/2025

Looks like

But is not spring asparagus

So sad

4/21/2025

Easter Sunday

A day of joy and sadness

Lunch with friends

The loss of a Pope

4/20/2025

The harbinger of spring

Bluebell season

Celebrations along the river

By the light of the moon

Maple seeds blowing in the wind

Looking for a new place to grow

Bowl of blooming brocolini

Bright as the sun

Waiting for dinner

4/17/2025

Metamorphosis

Cinderella's carriage

Reverts to pumpkin

4/16/2025

The taxman cometh

Even though we are not ready

Search for answers

4/15/2025

 

Tulips drooping with

Age and exhaustion

The end of their experience

4/14/25

Roses in tissue

Kissed by butterflies

Such a gift

4/13/2025

Brown and yellow leaves

Lingering among the new green

Transitioning

4/12/25

Swept away by spring winds and rain

The leaf holds on

Over the rushing creek

4/11/2025

Two tiny spring things

One the seed

One the result

4/20/2025

A bird in the nest

Is worth

Two in the sky

4/9/2025

Stolen from the edge of the zoo

The blooms looking like

Brains on a stem

4/8/2025

Excited explosion

Radishes and nonpareils

Don't know they will be eaten

4/7/2025

The pole dancing leaf

Clings

Enamored by its spot

4/6/2025

The camellias float in the bowl

Like eggs in a frying pan

Losing their pristine selves

4/5/2025

Pink and purple

The exuberance of spring

Finally arriving

4/4/2025

The rascally skink

Trapped in a nest

By falling petals

4/1/2025

March roars in

March roars in with cold biting winds

Time changes and we awake in the dark

Daffodils appear in the grocery store

But only the green tips show above the winter soil

Inside we debate between radiators and open windows

Layers and coats on and off as the temperature shifts

Our hears lift with the thought of

Sprint's arrival

The budding of new life and health

A burst of bluebells

March 1, 2025

Windblown baby oak leaves

Spread the pollen

Before the rain washes it away

3/31/2025

Cherry blossoms

Holding on before

The wind and rain

3/30/2025

Swimmers frolic

In the spring river

Aglow with hope

3/29/2025

Can a flower

Make a nest

Lay an egg?

3/28/2025

Greenhouse sunlight

Brings out the early blooms

Pink and green always in fashion

3/27/2025

La Dame aux Camelias

Impossible love

Betrayal

3/26/2025

Dissambled

The tulip

Fills the page

3/25/25

Scratching out an existence

One thing at a time

Focus

3/24/2025

Along the marsh edge

So many signs of life

Yesterday and today

3/23/25

The fiery tulip

Reflected in the dusky mirror

Seems aglow

3/22/2025

Who knew

Pussywillows sprouted

Sending messengers into the world

3/21/25

Even the hydrangea

Long dessicated

Looks like spring's arrival

March 20,2025

Tulips explode

Beauty in aging

3/19/25

Lost in my childhood

Finding treasures

Wanting more

3/18/25

The cycle of life

New green alongside

Dead leaves and branches

3/17/25

Little bits of winter

Hanging around

As spring beckons
