already it’s dark
week before DST ends –
therapists on call

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.

I shoot my first buck

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!

yesterday the park
overflowing with people
yet none found this spot
