on the scruffy street
blue wing feathers glisten 
in the early June sunshine

baby birds

a clutch of sparrowlings
hesitate on the path
unsure which parent to follow

bug

sitting on the letter box
its attempt at camouflage
is wasted

seed

captured on a thread of cobweb
I lift it free
and it drifts
purposelessly away

Snow day

on the doorstep
tiny blue boots
hoping
anticipating
another snowy day
