Diving, tail gleaming,

river otter frolicking

in the calm ocean.

July 30, 2012

Sun on the maple
tree turning its leaves golden.
Swaying in the wind.

July 29, 2012

Sleeping cat doesn’t
know that I’m watching him doze.
Does he dream of fish?

July 28, 2012

Butterflies flying
by on a warm summer day.
From flower to air.

July 27, 2012

Sunny summer day,
feel not a care in the world.
Strolling in the warmth.

July 26, 2012

Fresh lettuce from the
garden, so tender, tasty.
Hoping for more soon.

July 25, 2012

Sunlight hits the leaves
of the Aloe vera plant.
Bright green and growing.

July 24, 2012

The smell of cooking
chicken, rosemary, lemon.
Anticipation.

July 23, 2012

Wind whistling outside
my window, rain, sun, blue skies.
What will the day bring?

July 22, 2012

Misty rain dewing
on the links along the sea.
Grey skies don’t deter.

July 21, 2012

Pink and orange blooms
Alstroemeria, beauty
by the road. I walk.

July 20, 2012

Rain pouring outside
makes a little longer in
bed so delicious.

July 19, 2012

Bird conversations
in trees, loud, above my head.
What are they saying?

July 18, 2012

Strawberry finches
chase coy mates around the golf
course and down Beach Drive.

July 17, 2012

Little birdies lead
me down the path flying in
front then hiding, gone.

July 16, 2012

Droplets on my car
streaming away with speed, wind.
Sunlight coming down.

July 15, 2012

Overcast Oak Bay
with mist makes for fine running.
Scenery abounds.

July 14, 2012

Thunder scares cat and
he snuggles against me, mute.
Sheet lightning outside.

July 13, 2012

Crashing thunder storm
draws me out of my dreams fast.
Then the rain comes down.

July 12, 2012

What a beautiful day
to wear bright tangerine clothes.
The warm sun shines down.

July 11, 2012

Empty days and nights.
No purpose to what happens.
Boredom haunts me.

July 10, 2012

Small crow feather flies
in the light wind of today.
Glimmering black-blue.

July 9, 2012

Little bird collects
downy feathers for her nest.
Flies away from me.

July 8, 2012

Another sunny
day in glorious Oak Bay.
Mist over the sea.

July 7, 2012

Canada geese call
in the silence of morning.
The sun shines through haze.

July 6, 2012

Sunlight glancing off
of McNeill Bay while birds bob.
Ocean waves come in.

July 5, 2012

Heron glides over
seaweed covered rocks, searching.
Soon he will find fish.

July 4, 2012

Robin hopping through
wet grass in search of breakfast.
He will find morsels.

July 3, 2012

Rushing wind ringing
bell from Kamakura and
shaking tree branches.

July 2, 2012

Grey skies in my view,

making me think of autumn.

When will summer start?

July 1, 2012

Tide out so far now
exposing treacherous rocks.
But shallows are calm.
