Shade

Photo of a hiking trail during the early afternoon, through a canopy of oak trees.

Stands the mighty oak
under the scorching sunshine
sprinkling shade on me.

Finding your feet

Photo of a rocky hiking trail strewn with dried, yellowing, leaves.

Treading new pathways,
slipping into adventure:
dried leaves on old rocks.

Unseen

Photo of an empty street in Christchurch on a summer evening, the last dregs of sunset on the tops of still trees.

Quiet urban streets;
burrow-worthy, sun-kissed, trees—
city teems with life.

Glowing

Photo of the sky at the anti-twilight arch a few minutes before sunset.

Expansive pink sky
mirroring the setting sun
glowing on its own

Cars

photo of the city of Christchurch in New Zealand as seen from halfway up the Harry Ell trail

Travels with eyes front
along majestic mountains—
long straight line of ants.
