Winter is coming

frost on grass

Crunchy leaves snuggle
under a frozen blanket—
a morning wander.

Charity

Embracing us all,
gives to black, white, and between,
tree arms, alms to world.

Watch in awe

Lie down and look up,
canopy of burgundy;
a bedding of leaves.

Morning

The awakening:
stepping out of fog puddle,
sun dries hair, poplar.

Captured

Trees and bushes reflected in water, Tamar Island Wetlands, Launceston, Tasmania

A moment in time:
uncovered, unedited—
a perfect postcard.
