Double the Pleasure

Double trunk sweet gum.
Two for one in Sheila's yard.
Double the hazard.

Sheila's Evergreen Elegance

Like the long slender
East Indian holly fern,
her beauty endures.

Thanksgiving Day

Trio of oak leaves.
Grateful for family of trees.
Pin oak, white oak, red.

Evergreen Screen

Late day sunlight falls
on colorful oaks behind
glossy magnolias.

Light and Dark

Long thin finger clouds
arrest me at the market,
shopping for Sheila.

Bull Calf

Growths on cherry bark,
Disease or natural aging?
Fighting for tree life.

Outside Reading

Good start to a day.
Rilke, Oliver, Knowlton,
at Fripp, Paris, home.

Letting Go

Regal oaktree friend
changes color, drops her leaves
slowly across time.

Too Soon

Out of season bloom
November pink perfection
Brave and elegant

One Tree

Smooth, mossy, or split.
Southern magnolia tree bark
in the deep Wayback.
