from around the world.

January |
glazed ice forest under grey cloud shrouded sky the silence deepens |
|
February |
piercing the snowbank last year's forsythia has begun to swell |
|
March |
overhead the honks of homebound geese in rows - muddy bog underfoot |
|
April |
through empty branches the pale sunlight falls - green lily shoots |
|
May |
today's thunderstorm sheets of rain drum on the roof -- the elms full of birds |
|
June |
maple and pine forest wild iris in the clearing puff clouds fill the sky |
|
July |
bachelor's button and Queen Anne's lace shimmer -- heat waves blur the road |
|
August |
high blue sky hot sun chiggers in the deep green grass salt taste on my lips |
|
September |
ring-necked pheasant flees in sinuous flight -- dry field of pumpkins |
|
October |
cool breeze flutters through scarlet and golden maples -- woodpecker tapping |
|
November |
hard winds all night now ragged morning clouds fly east in grey sky |
|
December |
pine harvest fragrant on the cutting cold breeze -- children pick holly |
