NATURE WALKS

I’ve been traveling to Albany to shop around for a new set of wheels, and it has kept me from writing. I also found myself busy this past week test-driving my new truck and getting familiar with all its gadgets. Finally, I’m on the road again! Until I can devote more time to writing, I’d like to share some photographs from the past few years while on my nature walks. 

Enjoy the view!

WRITING AND SHARING

On the last day in August, I waited impatiently for the summer heat to subside. There was not much relief till this morning, when I recounted a moment  from yesterday and wrote this:

 STILL IN SUMMER

Me and Nikon and shade

On this hot August day

Watching one dry leaf fall

From the young Red Maple

It seems to be a reminder

Of what’s to come in autumn

And that I should not forget

On this early summer morning

The beauty in this crimson tree

There the bird is ever watchful

For a break in movement

And waits for my stillness

To sneak a bit of water

That has appeared overnight

In the large ceramic pot

At last it descends from the Maple

While I remain motionless

To photograph the drinking bird
