6.7.16 The rains came

And then , just as the sun set, 
on came the rains.


 

6.7.16 How It Goes With Beauty


Beauty is as beauty does.

6.7.16 Thundering Overhead

The sun was shining
and the wind was blowing 
and the river was streaming
and the clouds were thundering by overhead.



 

6.6.16 How the Uncaged Bird Sings



One of the five crows hatched last summer
lingering above the compost, after the others flew off. Stayed behind, as i spoke with them, observing me.


6.6.16 White Against Dark Green Hills

     Out back this morning, the sun was warm and the air still, as the bird community went about their lives , with so many nests full of eggs or second clutch babies. 
     Hummingbirds challenged each other out in the fields, and the Bluebirds came round again , just when I finally put their birdhouse out. 
     The Mountain Laurel blossomed this morning, and held court, as the season's first butterfly drank deeply from their blossoms. 
     I sat quietly in the sun and baked and watched enormous billowing clouds pass by.
     Far off several towns over, The Leverett Peace Pagoda shone white against the dark green hills. As we relish the cool bright days and the clear nights of June, once again.
