#6/365

The creeping Dunnock –

Doesn’t compete with sparrows ~

He’s sure of himself.

#5/365

Robin flying past –

Everywhere, the same sound ~

Garden, prison camp.

#2/365

Moving dormant pots –

Mister Robin inspecting ~

So I move some more.

Circles of Eight

My neighbor’s pigeons –

Evening sun in their wings ~

Trained by the whistle.

Staycation

Family picnic –

Swifts circling, feed on the wing ~

A fine stand of pines.

Punctuated Equilibrium

We are all shut down –

Nagging feeling about this ~

Nature is smiling.

Blustery

Magnolia blooms –

Battered by the growing wind ~

White plates on the lawn.

Tiny Furies

Spider explosion-

Trying not to disturb them ~

Then they move their webs.

Corfu 2019

Swimming facing down –

Chasing the sun sand ripples ~

Small fish ignore me.

–

Two moped girls pass –

The passenger is stroking

Driver’s ponytail.

–

Contact lens bubbles –

I brought a set of ten pairs ~

Helps to measure time.

–

Swim to the island –

A church once stood here ~

Now, a lost sarong.

–

A holiday ends –

Inflatables left behind ~

Drifting in the breeze.

Interstitial

A moment of calm –

Deciding what to read next ~

Or to read at all.
