Alive to the shimmer
a fishing egret
Comorants you always have with you,
a less common variety
After some wild atmospheric river rain storms
it went back to sunny, mild and, alas, dry
What's left of Eden
The relatively new and glorious garden gate
open at last
Late appearing bloom
Bees love these
Resurgent grasses
Pavilion of Shade
Thriving in cool moist semi-shade
Patterns of life and culture
Buoyant colors
A head of green
Burgundy and fuchsia
with delicate lavender flowers
Petrified serpent
Fungus is a force of nature
Incarnadine leaves
Machine of loving grace
Rhododendron in heaven
Au revoir
3.
Desert clime
Everything has its point
A succulent scene
graphic cactus
You may eat them
if you dare
Nature is seldom embarrassed
Touch me not
glimpse into the Palmetum
Another lark in the park
or in this case crows
Another afternoon in November
Little pal
a short visit
Life is sort as well
yet I don't agree with this idea
The plaque will go on and on
as fewer and fewer people remember who
Young lady modeling
Puts a little bush in the old tail
Read of a trend in Japan
of "forest-bathin"
Mindful idling under trees
Essentially what I've done my entire life
It's closing time
And then the finger of Fate
indicates it's gotten late
now they must lock the gate
But I linger on benches just outside
where it's not lonely for long
The gounds-keeper gave them some food
This fellow wonders if I have any more in store
Soon afterward I am joined
by lovely petite l'oiseaux
They find what squirrels leave behind
Avifauna accompany me
on my way out of the park
Zip a dee do dah
Epilogos
Evanescence at sunset
hello Darkness, my old friend
