With autumn nearing
Streetlight flickers on, then off
A few dried leaves fall

Early Morning Haze
Early morning haze
Sunlight hampered by the smoke
Disrupting autumn
Another smoky, hazy day here in Seattle. The air quality is expected to be slightly better than yesterday. It should continue to get better as the week progresses. I look forward to breathable air.
The bees keep working
Through the intense sun
And air choked with smoke moving
The bees keep working
The air in the greater Seattle has been filled with the smoke of many fires. Carried by the wind miles, a gift to be choked, I guess. The bees seem unperturbed.
Seattle Smoke
in this morning air
destructive rage blowing west
the sepia sky
The featured image is out my front door, trying to capture the smoky haze that’s descended upon Seattle. My lungs hurt a bit, my eyes sting, and I feel for my asthmatic friends and the misery they’re going through.
A Walk Amongst The Trees
walking amongst trees
sunlight climbing to the west
motion of my feet
A Near Autumn Haiku
These ghosts of summer
Gently fading into time
This cool morning air
Time Lurching
Memories of Bees
the wind’s graceful arc
flowers moving through the sun
memories of bees
Autumn Approaches
Woke to wind chimes’ song
Gentle motion of the air
Harbinger of fall
I love the sound of my wind chimes. Today, the pre-dawn morning air cool. Autumn approaches! September just days away, which I delight in. Though I need to trade my shorts and sandals for pants and sweaters, I find that fair.
Bees on the flower, tonight’s Haiku
The grace of daylight
From the sky across the leaves
This dance of the bees
Walking in the evening light, a bee moves from petal to petal. Summer moves forward.
