sunset flares;
& looks like a fire
on the horizon

sunset flares;
& looks like a fire
on the horizon

striped mountain —
long shadows lie across
the forest floor

rhododendron
and mountain-ash ring
the mountaintop


yellow hoods
on red berries
warm my mind

autumn afternoon —
the sun dips behind the hill,
faux sunset

water roils,
its flow is lost in
chaotic motion

Muscovy duck
struts up the trail -
business-like

the last leaf
flutters to the ground
too soon for winter
