The first daffodil –
Bright herald of more to come ~
Buds ready to burst.

The first daffodil –
Bright herald of more to come ~
Buds ready to burst.
Sitting immobile –
Sunny yard, a reading pause ~
Hoverfly inspects.
Pittosporum scent –
Strong, mornings and evenings ~
Bracketing the day.
Magnolia blooms –
Battered by the growing wind ~
White plates on the lawn.
