What does the sky think
when she looks into the mirror of the lake
and sees herself?



A small shadow
has filled in the fox's footprint
in the snow.

Birch bark curls,unfurled,
make splendid sails
for little twig boats.




Bushwhacking for photos
necessitates old holey jeans
and the ratty t-shirt
with a monkey on the front.

Watch as the master baker demonstrates
the marvelous shapes his dough
can take.

elm seeds glisten
when they stick to a
rain slick sidewalk

Small children wearing rubber rain boots
are magnetically attracted
to puddles.

Sunlight laughs
and playfully
slides down the gentle curve
of every blade of grass.

Passion and reproductive potential
are embodied in ripe fruit,
and are expressed by means of
the subtle insinuation
of  a seductive scent.
