2072. “movin’ on up”

 

some need a ladder

to make their way to the top

others… rise like air 🦊❤️

Do you know someone who has seemingly “made it to the top” with little or no effort? 🦊❤️

2071. “last man standing”

 

the lone last flower

persevering through the days

loneliness its prize 🦊❤️

Slowly, slowly the summer is creeping to its end. Once vibrant trees leaves, bushes and flowers are in a contest to stay the course - complete the race - outlast the rest to be the last one standing.   🦊❤️

2070. standing at attention

 

soldiers in a row

all ears and ready to go

lean and mean machines 🦊❤️

What a show of force the endless ranks of green and lean corn displayed!! 🦊❤️

2069. circles of life

 

right before my eyes

his’try year after year

beginning… till end 🦊❤️

It is quite amazing that the life of a tree is documented in such a detailed way… 🦊❤️

2068. onlooker

 

from my eye’s corner

the stare of a hunkrin’ buck

pulls me back to now 🦊❤️

As I walked along in the company of my busy mind, an unexpected onlooker brought me into the moment. 🦊❤️ 

2067. stories in paper

 

from a little square

her skilled fingers fashion forms

that tell a story 🦊❤️

I love being the first to see Yulan’s latest origami creation! She is so dedicated to her paper folding passion. 🦊❤️

2066. opposing views

 

‘neath the sprawling tree

opposing views can be had

…simply pick a seat 🦊❤️

On our morning walk we encountered an interesting sight involving two red Adirondack chairs facing in opposite directions. Between the chairs stood a massive tree… immovable and deeply rooted. The phrase “opposing views” popped into my mind. The state of the world. 🦊❤️
