June 30: Catbird

Does the cat understand

what the catbird has to say?

Does the willow?

June 29: After the rain

Salvaging wet peonies--

even falling apart

they smell so sweet.

June 28: Island

Walking alone at dusk.
All but the island's shore
enveloped in fog.

June 27: Mercy

Heading into Portland

for some sushi.

Sign points the way to Mercy.

June 26: Mount Equinox

At just over 3,800 feet, Mount Equinox is the highest mountain in the Taconic range in southwestern Vermont. From Manchester Center, there's an private toll road to the top (owned by Carthusian monks) which offers some spectacular views of the Taconics, the Green Mountains, and the valley between them. And the occasional wildlife sighting.

 

Matters of scale:

driving down the mountain

we slow for a crossing vole.

Blue flag irises--

even more beautiful

near the singing wren.

Wild seaside roses.

Empty bait bag on the beach

for holding summer.
