A moment of peace
Better than a day of fear
Live inside that breath

Some blooms are shocking
With vivid abundance bright
My little garden

Not an easy pic
I sneak, crawl, and even creep
But what a reward!

That loud, sharp visitor, big and blue
He knows my bounty is always free
Friendship wanes when the seed is few
Still, I’m glad he remembers me

My battered yellow friend
you don't demand the storm stop
you just hold the line

The collar lifts, a patient hand
and the dark, cold world becomes
just a loud, wet mirror
from which I am safe
inside your simple, faded shield

Small, focused, sharp beak
Simple plan for daily use
New morning is sung

Don't be so worried
The top thing to remember
It always works out

A hoverfly balances on the red stamens of a deep crimson daylily, its wings translucent against bright yellow pollen and the flower’s glowing green throat. Dewdrops cling to the petals.

Good morning!

First frosty sunrise of the season🌞❄️
Early morning sunlight rises through tall, delicate trees, their leaves touched with gold at the edges. Frost glows pale beneath the fence in the pasture, and the sky is a clear, cold blue.

Sometimes a painting breathes the same quiet as a photo.

In Andrew Wyeth’s #MasterBedroom, the sleeping dog becomes the keeper of peace, a small, breathing anchor in an otherwise silent room.

Master Bedroom by Andrew Wyeth- A watercolor painting depicts a sparsely furnished bedroom with sunlight streaming through a single small window. A white dog lies curled at the head of a large bed covered in a light, textured spread.

That photo is from this past May, and today, for a split second, I thought it was B&W too :)

I yearn to write with verve
Striking line, sharp and bright
Reader's interest I serve
I yearn to write with verve
Let common language swerve
Fill the page, burn with light
I yearn to write with verve
Striking line, both sharp and bright

The core holds its place
The skeletal truth persists
A frame built for hope

The unyielding tree
Unmoved and unrepentant
Fatigues everything

Black and white image of a sunlit tree that has outgrown and broken the decorative iron bench around its trunk, shadows stretching across the grass.
