June 1: Double feature

1

that time again

purple irises

along the old white shed

2

that time again

I’d forgotten 

there were all these flowers

May 29: Quince

amazed again each spring

by the color

of the quince blossoms

May 28: Apple tree

as if the hot pink blossoms
weren't enough
grosbeak's song


Listen to the Rose-breasted Grosbeak's melodious song here.

May 24: Flowering plum

spring thunderstorm 

how I covet

my neighbor’s plum tree

May 17: Millville

derelict house

graced by a flowering tree

what a waste

April 19: Color

bowl of clementines

forced forsythia flowers—

longing for spring

April 9: First flowers

that point in early spring

even skunk cabbage

is a welcome flower

April 4: White

white crocus

looks too much like snow

April showers

March 26: Finally, flowers

southern exposure

where the snow has melted

crocus are blooming

March 8: Snowdrop

under all that fresh snow

first tendrils of snowdrops

that had just appeared

June 2: Seal Cove

Parula singing.

Apple petals scatter

onto wet beach stones.

May 24: Framing

Trying to get the mountain

in the same shot

as the apple tree.

May 23: Bounty

Warblers singing.

The crabapple has never

bloomed so well.

May 14: Mother's Day

Budding forget-me-nots

I worry about them

under all this rain

May 4: Bulbs

Backyard greening--

planted before we lived here

tulips bloom once more.

May 1: May Day

Seasonal house--

Christmas wreath by the door,

cherry tree blooming.

April 25: Into spring

Driving south--

annual revelation

of flowering trees.

March 21: Hope

south-facing wall--

crocus buds raise their heads

between patches of snow

June 10: Bridal Veil

My house cat ignores
confetti of white petals
all over her back.

May 28: Birds and blossoms

Chestnut-sided Warbler

What's more beautiful

than a host of warblers

poised among apple blossoms?

 

Blackburnian Warbler
