Storm may be moving in. Maybe not. Fire in Valles caldera behind Cerro Pedernal.
For some strange reason
I like this domestic view
Of the mystical.
2016
Even without clouds
The sunset light and color
Are quite wonderful.
Torn, shredded napkins
On my car passenger seat.
We suspect it's mice. 🙀

2015 
Wild plants class, UNM Taos
Red belted conch, aka shelf mushroom; boil on simmer, helps immune system bane berry
shooting star columbine (check the leaves)
He doesn’t know
Twin berry (not that tasty)
Columbine leaves

Monkshood?
Chiming bells
2014
Solitary crows
Pick for food, while pelicans
Fly the tube in teams.
While she naps, I walk:
Sunscreen, hat, and camera.
Cue the thunderstorm!
2013
Last year was full moon,
But clouds and cool breeze are nice.
Waiting for the band.
His feet wave as he
Leans through the drive up window
To get my dropped card.

Thunder and rainfall...
Worried about tonight's show,
But nice petrichor.

A mashed waterbug,
Moiling mass of minute ants:
An insect mountain.

2010
Should I worry that
A person who can't spell is
Searching marriage laws?

Trivial pursuit
In online chat reference.
Hey kids, get a life!

2009
Got out Dave's Grandma's Canadian tea cups and had Drinda and Mike over for tiny sandwiches and thumbprint cookies on the deck.

I made eggless quiche. It's water hemlock , A deadly poison. The horse Nibbles around it. 2014 They mated, hatched and flew. The left-behind shell still clings. It's a metaphor. 2010 The dam was breaking, We sought high spots. I wake, fogged. Perched, the cat's grooming. The bus commute is So much more pleasant today. School's....out...for...summmer!

2019 Droitwich Appeals that succeed: Who could resist this sweet face? Plus, it stops the barks. This is a public footpath, leading straight to the Hadley Bowling Green Inn, my walk’s destination At this point the path disappears: I take the tractor road skirting the field I was covered in tiny burrs after pushing through this hedge Here I get locally made ice cream I take the road back Droitwich flowers Sweetest scent ever climbing a British hedgerow 2018 I’m buying ice cream “Thank you for eating healthy” The cashier tells me. 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. My poor Forester is out in it, hood open to keep the pack rats at bay. Minor flooding. So far. It’s been going on for an hour. Ice is melted, but rain pours down still. So much for sunset kayaking. 2017 See separate post for all the Huntingdon Garden pix.  I...

2020 There is no sorrow That can’t be soothed by a fire And a hammock chair 2019 White Sands Early sandy morn A deep stillness swallows sound I see a small fox 2017 "it's just a bad ball," Comments the calm, quiet voice. I'm not watching golf. Old boy Chip and I Both wanted to doze inside. Young pup dragged us out. At the cricket pitch, Modern day circle of stones On the windy hill. The hill ponies leave, So we take a look around. It's a bit smelly. 2015 Taos hosts Meow Wolf Spider: Market behind him, Striding towards Taos Mountain; Can't he smell chilis? 2014 For a year I've passed a rustic sign, posted on Hwy 14: "Potter, 400 yds," with an arrow pointing west. Finally followed the arrow, and discovered New Mexico's Best Potter for 2014. Wonderful work, both art sculptures and functional pieces.
