November 10th, 2014

~

Sitting quietly~deep in thought

enveloped in golden mist

is this magic~is it a golden dream

~

Startled back to reality I turn

looking outside this evening

our skies spill down liquid gold

~

Moments later~bright golden streaks

bright raspberry~transforming 

quickly ~deepest vermilion glows

~

Inhaling deeply~breath takes in

this magically infused air

sinks deep down into the soul

~

Soon colors fade~darkness falls

the streaks deep violet now

edged in antiqued old rosé lace

~

Heart overflows~full to the brim

with Nature's beauty now

carried within~AFTERGLOW

~
Beneath a pale morning moon
buzzards circle lazily
Shasta's snowy flanks beckon

November 12th, 2014
~
Delicate bud slowly unfurls
glowing citrine green
rebirth of bouquet long dead

November 13th, 2014
~
Dark clouds gather to the West
radiant sun slowly slips away
valley shrouded in golden mist
~
Above us a pool of cerulean blue
spilling notes from it's heart
pure soaring soprano fills the air
~
Meadowlark~ golden throated
sings exquisitely~ full of joy
bidding this day a last farewell

~
Thick morning fog
caresses the pines
November morn

Birds chatter loudly
fluffing against
 November morning chill

November 15th, 2014
~
Beneath flaming fall trees
cattle graze peacefully
their pale flanks kissed
gently by the setting sun
~
Savoring this rural scene
tranquility descends
we head toward home
another luminous autumn day

November 16th, 2014
~
Wise old owl flag
newly arrived
graces old cattery
~
Sitting empty now
our last old boy
moved in with us
~
Yet through sad losses
we've gained space
for messy creativity
~
Embracing change
our only choice
life is moving on
~
Small light filled space
once filled with purrs
transforming into a studio
