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
