in the crosshairs of my camera,
the fawn seemed to pose for the shot,
but then, like a silly young girl,
she stuck out her tongue and ran off

nature loves painting
beautiful wildflowers
on roadside landscapes.
i picture her as a girl,
hopping and skipping
along the ditches,
accidentally on purpose
spilling and splattering
her summer colors
with reckless abandon,
and leaving a trail
of beauty behind.

“june”
june is when the grass
is somehow greener on
both sides of the fence

sandhill cranes
i see two feathered footballs
on legs like broken sticks;
i hear their lockstep footfalls
between their calls and clicks.

if you see the beauty
in an old weathered barn,
you’re my kind of beholder

some pictures need a train
some pictures don’t
sometimes i’ll wait for one
sometimes i won’t

“sunrise through my frosty window”
i awoke from strange dreams
and peered out my window,
but all i could see
was more of the same

Shot of the Day (12/20/22)
It’s so bright and sunny out here that it’s hard to believe there’s a whole other world just under the snow and ice– a world of nothing but cold and dark. In a way, it reminds me of us, with our own two sides.
A snowy blanket has two sides:
One that shows and one that hides;
The open side is bathed in light–
The other, though, is black as night
