unfamiliar stars
on this night without a moon —
the sound of wind chimes

Lafayette, Colorado

30 March, 2011

Orion and wind
on this moonless spring evening —
a raccoon scurries

Lafayette, Colorado

29 March, 2011

the morning's snowfall
has been melted by the sun —
wet dandelions

Lafayette, Colorado

28 March, 2011

it's not as windy
here on this side of the lake —
a fisherman waits

Waneka Lake Park, Lafayette, Colorado

27 March, 2011

clouds obscure the moon
on this cold night in late March —
smoke from a chimney

Lafayette, Colorado

26 March, 2011

a quiet spring night —
the reflection of the trees
on the placid lake

Waneka Lake Park, Lafayette, Colorado

25 March, 2011

all is calm tonight
after a week of high winds —
a pack of coyotes

Lafayette, Colorado

24 March, 2011

on this spring evening
all is quiet at the lake —
the honk of a goose

Waneka Lake Park, Lafayette, Colorado

23 March, 2011

the wind has died down —
the cottonwood's silhouette
against a clear sky

Lafayette, Colorado

22 March, 2011

an empty playground —
the branches on the sidewalk
and the howling wind

Waneka Lake Park, Lafayette, Colorado

21 March, 2011

the March winds carry
the scent of smoke from Golden —
whitecaps on the lake

Waneka Lake Park, Lafayette, Colorado

20 March, 2011

staring at the moon
in these last hours of winter —
the hoot of an owl

Lafayette, Colorado

19 March, 2011

perigee full moon —
its brightness obscured by this
mysterious haze

Lafayette, Colorado

18 March, 2011

bright and hazy day —
is it a sign of spring, or
the plume from Japan?

Waneka Lake Park, Lafayette, Colorado

17 March, 2011

on St. Patricks Day 
broken and burnt cattail stalks,
birds in the distance

Greenlee Wildlife Preserve, Lafayette, Colorado

14 October, 2004

icy autumn night —

looking for the moon, I find

bird’s nest silhouette


Lafayette, Colorado


9 October, 2004

beneath the streetlight —

the fluorescent yellow leaves

hiding the sidewalk


Lafayette, Colorado


5 October, 2004

the old creaking fence —

flashes in the moonless sky

without the thunder


Lafayette, Colorado


2 October, 2004

after the shower —

just a few scattered blackbirds,

a low-flying hawk


Lafayette, Colorado


28 September, 2004

golden leaves pressed flat

against the basketball court —

moon behind the clouds


Lafayette, Colorado


26 September, 2004

a goose calls out twice
as Orion disappears —
just before sunrise

Lafayette, Colorado

25 September, 2004

cool September breeze —

smoke from the chiminea,

two crickets chirping


Lafayette, Colorado

22 September, 2004

perched on a stop sign
the mynah bird screams at cars —
first rain of autumn

55th Street & Central Avenue, Boulder, Colorado
