Last night's moon: A detailed waning gibbous Moon with crisp craters and surface textures, bright against a black sky.

New photo gallery on the blog: Mammals!

Mammals!
I mostly photograph birds, but that’s only because mammals tend to be more reclusive–here are some local fur-bearing creatures.

Six Thorns: August, Purple, Early, Canary-shouldered, Feathered, and Dusky. I doubt I'll ever get to see the others.

Blinding sun, the nights are stark—

The juncos are here,
Best friends of the chickadees,
Small hearts united.

Snow

Snow is what it does.
It falls and it stays and it goes.
It melts and it is here somewhere.
We all will get there.

Bare winter trees stand silhouetted against a bright rising, December sun, with fences and horse pasture beneath a clear blue sky.

Nature’s moral law
combines hunger and beauty
a hawk shadows the meadow
a rabbit nibbles unseen

As we slept, the night
etched its rhyme
over the world,
a message in pitch,
the story of stars
and shadows,
told beneath
a china plate moon

when we awoke,
morning had erased
the chalkboard
and rewritten it
in sunlight's image—
an orange flower
with petals
like seagulls.
