cathedral window
a candle in the chapel
lit by a sunbeam

summer gusts
the outdoor furniture
rearranged

high tide
he casts his fishing line
into the darkness

summer ends
turning the last page
of a book

suddenly parting
the billowed curtains release
a late summer breeze

under an eave
small white shard
of a broken egg

the green lawn
dotted with plum tree blossoms
spring rains

blue smoke travels
down the red rock canyon–
echo of a train

summer fun
folds up in a truck–
ferris wheel

wintry creek
a pair of mallards
paddle close together

October night winds
shuffle through the underbrush
scaring up shadows

looking closer
another flower blooms
within the rose

windy day–
the outdoor furniture
rearranged

lost
top of the tall birch
in a heavy fog

summer twilight
shadows linger on the
empty porch swing

morning drizzle-
a stray cat cautiously
searches for shelter

silent neighborhood
thickened morning fog
hushes the yard dogs
