Close up photo of a tiny apricot fruit on the tree. — First apricot of the season.

The game is afoot:
lorikeets and humans race,
spring sun births a fruit.

Shining

Photo of the sun setting in the horizon, as seen from the 35th floor of a hotel room in Sydney’s CBD. — Sunset from the 35th floor of a Sydney hotel.

Sparkling golden hour:
the sun folds in on itself;
red wine stain remains.

Under appreciated

Photo of the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge across the water, with a large fig tree canopy overhead.

Unfazed by the world,
extravagant monuments:
trees by city lakes.

Peace

panoramic photo of a wild canopy of Moreton Bay fig trees on Hyde Park in Sydney — Hyde Park, Sydney

I gawk at the skies:
it peeks through wild canopies;
heaven in cities.

Endurance

Close up photo of a sunflower clops on, its petals starting to open.

Attempting to bloom,
spring putting on a brave face,
for winter’s last week.
