Just for a moment,

sky and pond are brushed with pink

before night descends.

JDG

Breeze, leaves and light put

on a sparkling show for all

who choose to attend.

JDG

Bare limbs etched against

 red sky as the day comes to

 a fiery end.

JDG

Rising sun, rising

mist – nature’s gentle signal 

that we should rise too.

JDG

Bounding deer, darting

squirrels, dog in hot pursuit,

cats watching the game…

JDG

A flash of sunlight,

cardinal’s folded red wings –

blues chased away.

JDG

First dusting of frost –

an early proclamation

of what is to come.

JDG

Early morning chill –

sweaters on, pace picks up.

Autumn’s come calling.

JDG

From the birds’ early

morning broadcast system we

get a wakeup call.
