daylight fading
nineseventeen pm
hedgehogs feeding

light holds

horizon glows

a blackbird sings
nineseventeen pm
good night

houses lighting up
nineseventeen pm
days still lengthening

croaking frogs a splash
nineseventeen pm
Basho comes to mind

evening beckons bats

burns respite clouds shadows
much needed rain

we all enjoy fun
summer holidays...

calm days oceans fit
dress coastlines in white lace
treacherous... the storm

on the wind it glides
oceans of the south surveyed
albatrosses feed

penguins flighty birds
cross ice bellies down... feet...

look... early snowdrops
buried twice this springtime
winter stealing time

proud dandelions

protection from jack the frost
confused... yes i am...

puffed up...

summer sun escaped the clouds
a blink in time

sparrows twittering
fledgelings begging to be fed
a watchful cat

warm westerly breeze
consolation for no sun

the cinnabar moth
a summer diurnal one
check out the ragwort

peppermint stands
mint moths' abundant tiny
summer potatoes

a rambling rose
buds showing waiting to burst
a flowerfly drones

bees not many
some burrowers...

late spring arthropods
not as things should be
many absentees
-
swallows still absent
butterflies the odd one
today a wood brown
-
azure springtime sky
should be full of life... empty
no i'm going...

mobs of kangaroo

Aboriginals suffer
arpartied still reigns...

climate change... killing
spring bees...  spiders  many flies
early nesters starve

once joy the seasons...
the charm of springs overture...
winter defies it...

today... house  sparrows
 seen nesting......

fresh mushrooms... breakfast

all milk dependent... from mom's
grateful the kittens

nature providing
sustenance nurturing life
no nurture... no...

evoked memories your breath
warm summer days

finding the balance
on a hot sunshiny day
dappled shadows

my garden bench
i share with untidy guests
bird droppings sun baked
