The view is worth the
climb, world stretching out beneath-
world is your oyster.

August 30, 2017

Summer afternoon
walk, muggy day, but beauty
of view pays- Oak Bay.

August 29, 2017

It's a summer treat
when an amaryllis blooms-
fiery red, gold days.

August 28, 2017

Offering to the
squirrel gods near fall- bestow
long autumn sleeps please.

August 27, 2017

Staring at the wall,
can’t think of anything to
write- it’s a Sunday.

August 26, 2017

Fine day for a walk,
but perhaps I’ll just stay home-
remember past walks.

August 25, 2017

It’s Friday, I’ll sleep,
not struggle with mat time-  there’s
always tomorrow.

August 24, 2017

A summer’s day seems
Brighter with you ‘round- yellow
Calla lily plant.

August 23, 2017

Tropical trips are
captured in this flower- bright
yellow hibiscus.

August 22, 2017

Sunset replete with
dream colours to send us forth
to dreamland- sweet dreams.

August 21, 2017

The light fades out, cool
breeze, quiet falls- we gather,
watch solar eclipse.

August 20, 2017

Even with the sun
behind clouds, it’s Sunday- let’s
feast on rich pancakes.

August 19, 2017

A fine day for flights,
in air or of fancy- use
Saturday fully.

August 18, 2017

Though it’s not autumn,

why not cook a comfort meal-

bone broth chicken soup.

August 17, 2017

August afternoon,
homemade iced tea to sip- in
shade I contemplate.

August 16, 2017

We must enjoy the
dying days of summer- blue
skies with iceberg clouds.

August 15, 2017

Half your leg shorter
than my foot- hard to believe
I was that small once.

August 14, 2017

Leaves drift down early,
long drought, thirsty trees- or is
autumn here too soon?

August 13, 2017

Summer sunsets are
coming to a close- day by
day fall creeps nearer.

August 12, 2017

Overcast skies like
October tonight- think back
to sunsets before.

August 11, 2017

When I get up, you're
just heading to bed- you're a
party animal.

August 10, 2017

Hands stained and scratched, my
treasure’s in colander- how
shall I consume you?

August 9, 2017

Even when apart,
I think of you oft-  in a
very fond way still.

August 8, 2017

Kitchen violet
provides beauty- even when
dishes are piled high.

August 7, 2017

Your little hand in
mine- always reminds me to
cherish every day.

August 6, 2017

Hands-free used to mean
speakerphone- now it means a
baby carrier.

August 5, 2017

Can’t tell what time of
day it is by light- hazy
air makes orange gloom.

August 4, 2017

Rosy lining of
smoke filled air, stunning sunsets-
our lungs don’t agree.

August 3, 2017

Burning through thick haze,
sun sinks away- orange light
fades, we fall asleep.

August 2, 2017

Smoke mottled air close
over town as it winds down-
sun casts rosy rays.

August 1, 2017

Scent of warm peanut
butter cookies waft- hopeful
onlooker observes.
