Beyond our
Earthen carousel,
The stars,
In vast array,
Light up
Our cosmic carnival–
The twinkling
Milky Way.
The fairway
Teems with stars,
Perhaps
Five hundred
Billion strong;
Look up
And see the galaxy–
It’s open
All night long!

When I’m out in the field, clicking away, sometimes the shot ends up somewhere between bad photography and accidental art.

A self-centered woodchuck named Ben
Stays aloof from his ex-girlfriend,
But if it’s time to mate,
He will not hesitate
To just let himself in to her den

huge, fighting eagles
may leave prized feathers behind

If romance has its time and place, this is it. My new backyard pool offers couples a picturesque setting for love.
However, it’s not always paradise; this goose is getting an earful after scoping out a beautiful swan.
I consider myself lucky; most of the farmer’s fields around here look like lakes, but the dust will be blowing around soon enough.
It’s been a long, colorless winter, and I am so looking forward to better opportunities for photos!

it
came out
of the east
and enveloped
our unwary world;
soon, misinformation
about the vaccination
inundated the world wide web,
precautions became politicized,
and over six million of us perished.
still, many of us got educated,
and most of us got vaccinated;
we kept up social distancing
and tolerated the mask.
now, i can only hope
it keeps declining,
and i pray that
covid will
soon be
gone.

whatever we’ve left
out on the lawn last fall now
comes back to haunt us

the first day of spring
has the trees of the forest
weeping with joy
