a brisk october morning
woodsmoke fills the air
land of sky-blue waters
the docks are put away
there’s no one fishing
the resort is deserted–
it’s all mine now

we may not know where
we’re going, but we’re sure that
we’re getting there fast

feast (tanka)
a picnic table
is the perfect place to feast–
on nature’s beauty
our souls always hunger for
nature’s beautiful banquet

haiku 159
fall colors blaze in
the pine forest’s underbrush–
flames frozen in time

star girl (archives)
starlight falls out of the skies
and settles in her upturned eyes
she peers into the jeweled vault
until the sun begins to rise
an amateur astronomer
she knows the moons of jupiter
orion’s belt and saturn’s rings
she loves the stars like i love her
i hope someday she’ll love me too
but i will not obstruct her view
or take the stars out of her eyes
my love for her is tried and true

fall falls
autumn tumbles down
the ski slope like so many
falls to soon follow

shot of the day 10/1/23
for nature shots,
the chances are
that i won’t have to
go too far,
for nature’s riches
are bestowed
upon the ditches
of my road

wildlife photos (shadorma)
i look in
the woods with caution
to see what
i can see
and every so often
it looks back at me
