Distracted at the meeting
by a butterfly.

July 6: Tiger lilies

Drone of a lawnmower,
hillside covered with lilies.
Try to stop thinking.

Arrived home at last.
River, vireo's song

July 4: Red, white, and blue(bird)

This family of bluebirds,
parents feeding young,
carries the day's happiness.
 
 

July 3: Long Falls Dam Road

the length of the road
summer blizzard of mayflies
swirling in headlights

July 2: Dusk

waiting for fireflies
three deer in the lower field
a bat overhead
 
Spending Fourth of July weekend at Claybrook Mountain Lodge

July 1: Covert operations

The crows, and whatever
they're yelling at--all hidden
by summer leaves.
