just wondering if
under the right conditions
we’d all have halos

just wondering if
under the right conditions
we’d all have halos
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
patches of sunlight
over the last of summer
dueling dragonflies
