autumn – Page 10 – Longing For Water

2020.11.11: precarious

branch not quite fallen
held up by crook in the neck
dangling in the breeze

2020.11.07: fathom

can you tell what’s real
and what’s just a reflection
true depth lies beneath

2020.11.04: resilience

days after the ice
the glory of what remains
showing “life goes on”

2020.10.21: farewell

without much fanfare
our seasonal friends are gone
shadows grow longer

Author’s Note: This photograph was taken on September 22, the Autumnal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. It was the last time I sighted a hummingbird this year. See you next spring, hummers.

deer season
I shoot my first buck
with an iPhone

This was a very fortuitous find as there was a 24-hr endurance trail bike race at this park where we walk. We showed up for our weekly walk as they were packing up to leave. Around the back side between a residential addition and the park, we happened upon this guy – waiting patiently for the invaders to leave his territory. On a personal note this is the first time I’ve seen a buck at this park. His harem and progeny abound so we knew he had to be around somewhere. Well here he is!
