savoring the sight

before nudity sets in

splendor of autumn

oo0oo

fails not to delight
despite the melancholy
burst of autumn hues

flying to a garden
lone butterfly on a choice
the pink attraction


oo0oo


others left wanting
a kiss from a butterfly
joy of the pink one

in my back garden
dancers in spanish costume
 swaying with the wind

oo0oo


two ladies in red
flaunting their tiered ruffle skirts
in my back garden

the emerging sun
on a beach at dead low tide
a prayerful palm


oo0oo


piercing the darkness
in all its magnificence
sunlight on a beach

brightening my mood
landscape of green and pastels
sunshine in its midst

oo0o


freshness in the air
soft and warm colors around
strolling in a park

undaunted presence

in a field of blady grass
colorful zinnia

oo0oo

 amidst cogongrass
a lovely princess standing
red orange zinnia

lovely little bird

inching its way to the tip

of a bamboo twig

oo0oo

delightful side-glance 

a twig moving up and down

bird on a joyride
