2057. future fossil

 

in a flow of tar

a penny frozen in time

like ice age fossils 🦊❤️

When I spotted a penny captured in a flow of tar on a parking lot, my first impulse was to pry it loose. Then I thought about the Le Breau Tar Pits near Los Angeles. There, entrapped in the tar are fossils of the Ice Age like Saber Toothed Tigers and Wholly Mammoths.  Since pennies are no longer being minted, I decided to let it be in its grave of tar for future generations to find. 🦊❤️

2056. art critic

at the art museum

a harsh art critic did prowl

known as the “stink bug” 🦊❤️

We all got a chuckle when our friend Gloria commented that a “Stink Bug” was indeed an art critic during our visit to the local art museum. 🦊❤️

 

2055. magnetism

 

in the overnight

the light’s magnetic power

a gath’ring of moths 🦊❤️

While visiting friends over the holiday weekend, we were treated to a magnificent gathering of moths that were drawn to their garage wall by a light fixture. So many types… so many intricate designs. A real July Fourth display. 🦊❤️

2054. perfect miracle

 

what a miracle

the mirrorness of water…

and i can see it… 🦊❤️

There is something magical that happens whenever I sit still and listen to leaves rustling in the wind. Everything becomes a miracle. 🦊❤️

2053. refuge

in the blazing sun

my shadow finds some respite

with those from the leaves 🦊❤️

 My shadow grows more and more grateful to the kindness of leaves during our current heatwave. 🦊❤️ 

2052. good bye sycamore

 

from its high wire perch

a lone bird chirps so sadly

“good bye sycamore…” 🦊❤️

It is indeed sad to watch an enormous Sycamore tree being slowly dismembered day after day by a work crew. A lonesome bird perched on a high wire agrees I think… 🦊❤️

2051. and the winner is….

 

up - up - up it climbs

In a dense patch of weeds, A Jack in The Beanstalk like weed climbed into the sky to let the sun’s rays do their work on the anxious bloom buds waited. And the winning bloom is!!!!! 🦊❤️
