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

who will be the first to bloom?

and the winner is!!!!! 🦊❤️

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!!!!! 🦊❤️

2050. stand out

it’s taller than tall

who wouldn’t look up to you?

“grow on tree - grow on!!!” 🦊❤️

When I saw this single tree towering above the rest, I could not help but think about my Cousin Joe who was inducted into the Mid Mon Valley Sports Hall of Fame last weekend. Congratulations Joey!! 🦊❤️
