The hummer battle
I go out walking
In search of a phone signal
And find so much more.

Surrounded by rain,
I sauté sage in butter.
The rain comes closer.
Radiance seeps 'round
The cloud bank, lightening up
My trudge to the car.
2015
Misty hill outlines,
And a sleeping baby bat:
The storm's aftermath.

Sandia Crest wildflowers

I'm treated so well:
Strawberries from the garden.
Aunt Linda loves me.

Sweet Oregon-grown
You really need to try them.
So very yummy!

Progression of a storm: we watch clouds piling up, enjoying the play of light on the rocks. Back at the library, we hear the rain and thunder. Then....hail?! And a heavenly scent of bruised plants.

Finally followed the arrow, and discovered New Mexico's Best Potter for 2014. Wonderful work, both art sculptures and functional pieces.
