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.

Comrades

close up photo of two almond flowers in the same branch, facing the opposite direction — First almond flowers of the season

Shoulder to shoulder,
facing a common challenge:
flowers against bees.

Moon sighting

Photo of the waning moon against a clear blue sky, on a winter afternoon.

Special day-time show:
the moon in the southern sky,
for kids who chase dreams.

Happy

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

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