Fog banks won’t reveal
the mountain vistas I miss.
The rain continues.

October 30, 2012

Ducks bob on the sea,
in the pouring rain, diving,
for a good morsel.

October 29, 2012

Bird hopping through bush,
camouflaged by spots and brown.
Little beating heart.

October 28, 2012

Out of my comfort
zone, wandering aisles, strange store.
Looking for something.

October 27, 2012

Mountain Ash berries
hang heavy outside my place.
Waiting for birdies.

October 26, 2012

Crows at the lookout
waiting for a meal or crumb.
Patience is golden.

October 25, 2012

Last of the berries
fall to the dew covered ground.
The sun hides away.

October 24. 2012

The sky is so grey
and foreboding that I walk
now instead of late.

October 23, 2012

I whip through the route
on my way to Gonzales.
Then I’m back again.

October 22, 2012

Rising above the
strait, the sea, majestic Mt.
Baker, white, snow capped.

October 21, 2012

Shaking apples down
from high in the tree. Now I
make sweet applesauce.

October 20, 2012

Choosing the colours
that I will glaze with today.
Painting and dipping.

October 19, 2012

Dark clouds crowd the sky,
making me dress in layers.
But it does not rain.

October 18, 2012

Everywhere I
look there is a murder of
crows, watching, waiting.

October 17, 2012

After the wind storm,
conkers on the ground reveal
their shiny chestnuts.

October 16, 2012

Howling wind outside
makes me happy to nest here,
with a cat by me.

October 15, 2012

Blazing red trees line
the boulevards and the streets.
Autumn has arrived.

October 14, 2012

Rain pounding the parched
earth, pelting at my window.
Oh what a drab day.

October 13, 2012

Walking in the dark,
listening to seagulls cry.
I look at the sky.

October 12, 2012

Long awaited rain
falls heavily over Oak
Bay. Fresh scents abound.

October 11, 2012

Crows dropping nuts on
the road and checking their work.
Then they fly away.

October 10, 2012

Fog rolling over
McNeill Bay and beyond to
the far away hills.

October 9, 2012

Bending in strange ways,
who knew I could do this pose.
Morning yoga fun.

October 8, 2012

I am thankful for
family, friends, and the cat.
Happy Thanksgiving.

October 7, 2012

Packing a picnic
lunch for a day trip today.
Excitement to come.

October 6, 2012

Blinding sun above
shimmering on the water.
Lighting up my day.

October 5, 2012

Chirashi sushi,
such an assortment of fish.
Many flavours blend.

October 4, 2012

Waning moon looks down
on me, as I walk by sea.
Soon it will be full.

October 3, 2012

Hawk circling high up
above me, searching, scouring,
the ground for his lunch.

October 2, 2012

Trial Island is
shrouded in fog, its lighthouse
disappearing now.

October 1, 2012

In the morning, there
is a nip to the air, that
makes me grab a coat.
