first of the monarchs
arriving by ones and twos
then southward again

the rain sings softly
then the brooks and rivers –
roaring in refrain

This flycatcher and its mate has frequented our backyard all summer. “He” likes to sit on both the chain link fence and the wood panel fence to pick out his meals. I was lucky to have captured him in mid flight snatching his dinner from the air and then fly to the wood fence to savor his catch.
overcast morning
the flycatcher’s on the fence
hunting on both sides
2020.08.31: dogfight
patches of sunlight
over the last of summer
dueling dragonflies
2010.08.29: hemispheres

the road that we’re on
splits the horizon in two
learn to love both halves
