Teaching moment

Close up photo of a large rose and its petals, still intact on the bush.

Cluster of petals
supporting one another;
lesson for humans.

Leftovers

Close up photo of water droplets on the leaves of a rose bush.

Lingering on leaves,
mere hours after morning frost:
droplets; so doubtful.

Happy

Close up photo of a bunch of wood sorrel weeds with bright yellow flowers.

Joyously vibrant,
blanketing my garden bed,
common winter weed.

Co-living

Close up photo of the bright yellow flowers of the mustard plant, taken on a sunny day.

The sun never scorns
at flowers that are yellow;
nature complements.

Gardening

Close up photo of a small cauliflower on the making.

Great expectations:
flowering bulb emerges;
no moths around—yet.
