September Moves In

September moves in
sunlit days becoming rare
the scent of autumn

Morning Sunlight

Morning sunlight

Under the cool autumn breeze

I resist waking

A lovely autumn morning in Seattle. Blue skies, mostly white clouds, though there are a few darker ones. The demands of my day finally rouse me. My tea welcomes me back to life.

the ocean’s motion
waves moving across the earth
continuously

Here is my contribution to the Word of the Day Challenge. Today’s word is “wave”. Having spent so much of my life near the ocean, this is the first place my mind went. I did think a bit about writing about physics, but, well, I decided oceans were more lovely.

Weeds vs Wildflowers

Weeds vs Wildflowers

my mind wondering
why are dandelions weeds
not wildflowers?

As a boy, I loved dandelions. As an adult, I wonder why they’re so maligned. What do you think?

can we hope to understand
secrets of petals?

The First Day Of Autumn

holding back the dawn 

grey skies resisting sunlight

grace of rain soaked leaves

It’s a classic Seattle autumn morning. One that I delight in. I hope your autumn is off to a good start.
