Imagine my surprise when I ran into this woolly gal out in the woods! She had escaped from a nearby farm, but she happily followed me to it. The farmer told me that they used to have two more, but one wandered off and the other was killed by a bear.
Llamas, with their unique kind of blood, have recently shown an exciting potential for a coronavirus treatment. Go llamas!

steel rails in moonlight
are sharper than
the edge of night

the morning fog will lift by noon;
for now the sun’s a pale moon

my son aaron took this shot of me the other evening. He’s such a creative photographer, I thought I’d throw this in to showcase his talent

mouth of the river–
ever agape with wonder
at the open sea

fluidity
the rolling river
bobs and weaves through solid stone–
and comes out unharmed
when we roll with the punches
we wear down the enemy

Haibun: Stars
I’m following a trail into the woods tonight to get a better view of the moonless, starry sky without the light pollution from the city. It’s getting darker as I go, and my eyes are finally adjusting. I can’t believe how spectacular it is–the sky is beginning to look like powdered sugar spilled on black velvet. Venus is so bright, it’s actually casting a shadow.
If only my camera could do justice to this celestial extravaganza!
It’s so peaceful out here. The pines are like gentle giants swaying in the breeze under a canopy of dazzling stars. I can’t help but smile.

we’re made of stardust
ergo, our lives are truly
written in the stars

morning sun so bright
it’s threatening to ignite
the smoldering trees
