The steps lead upwards
through trees and shrubs
I can't see beyond
Sun sets over the
vineyard
Sky intoxicates like wine
The yellow balloon
lands softly in a field of
sunflowers, joining them
I long to see a
Painted bunting; looks like he
bathed in a rainbow
In the spring garden,
brown bench is perfect spot for
sitting; no one does
Six white petals each
Appeared out of nowhere
Star-of-Bethlehem
Cloister
View of mountains; tent
pitched, camping in
Oh-Be-Joyful Valley
Purple-black starry sky,
dark silhouettes of trees
Comet flashes by
After the snow storm,
trees appear dipped
in cake-like icing
Snowy Egret
The snowy egret
looks like he's having
a bad hair day
A lightning bolt strikes
through the reddish purple
sunset sky
At the edge of a cliff,
two birds touch beaks
Dusky blue, muted
green; foggy dawn
at Reflection Lake
