Yellow

delicious island

delightful fragrances rises 

on a sea of tea

Lemon

On a sea of tea

fragrant yellow island floats

Meyer lemon harvest

Dog walk along the creek

collars jingle merrily

excited snuffles accompany as they explore

~

Trio of buzzards

above our heads in the blue sky

follow us home

~

Morning ritual complete

dogs curled in their beds

our day moves on

Early morning

twinkling stars in velvet sky

owl hoots softly

Coyotes sing
under a setting crescent moon
Orion's Belt sparkles

Once again our little creek sings it's sweet song
as it makes it's way toward the Sacramento
~
Across the creek cattle dot the hills
their lowing blending with creek's song
~
Last leaves quiver on nearly bare branches
brilliant sunshine spills unseasonal warmth 
~
Our morning walk after Thanksgiving
so much to be thankful for each and every day

Cold and clear
yet still tempting
***
Creek is running cold and clear
Petey doesn't mind~cheerfully taking the plunge
racing in and out~exuberant in his joy
the girls stand and watch~no doubt fueling his bravado
but then again~his big grin tells another story
crazed wild abandon shines on his face
as he comes tearing out~one more time
exhilarated he shakes~eager to share his joy
arcs of sparkling diamonds radiate around him
then fall~finding their mark~soaking us all
infected by his happiness we head home smiling
