Summer vignettes

Trees - their shadows are reaching out for each other this morning
•
Blue morning sky
Light for you today
little lucky plants
•
Can there be anything more divine than a bird song breaking the silence of a morning?
•
Rain was knocking on my windows when I woke up today. An acceptable wake up alarm, only second to a bird song.
•
Every morning the white throated sparrow sings its sweet tune of a new day in the marsh.
•
I don’t know how this sparrow can sit on the edge of wibbly twig and be so still. I would like those balancing powers. Thank you.
•
A few Ebony Jewelwings were frolicking by the stream, metallic blue green bodies carried by black wings.
•
A big yellow butterfly on tiny pink flower
gone in a blink of an eye
•
Daylight moved to the west leaving shadow in the east. I watched the crown of the tree steadily fade from yellow to green and the sky turn purple and pink. And right after the dusk was done with its evening display, the birds flew back home and the mole crickets began to sing.
•
At night the lake looked formidable
White foam over dark waves
Like creatures moving under a sheet
•
Isn’t it nice when you can smell the flowers
Jasmine of the night and the Lilacs
Daphnes, Summersweets and Aslyssums
Geraniums and sweet Lavender
The lily of the valley is looking up at the clear skies
Hyacinths in my yard have gone to sleep
The sweet fragrance of the night lingers
And the summer triangle shines in the summer skies
•
On a clear summer night away from the street lights, the house lights, and the phone light, there lies a night sky full of dazzling suns shining from billions of light years away, the distance quadrupling every second, but to us they look fixed, unchanged, and unmoving for eternity.
