|
January |
dusk... a horse's head bent down to the field of snow |
|
February |
warm winter sun in the middle of the road mountain sheep droppings |
|
March |
early spring mist... high above the deep night hazy moon |
|
April |
melting river red-tinged pussy willow stems on both banks |
|
May |
spring whitecaps . . . one whistler swan cradles the other's neck |
|
June |
light summer showers . . . a tree swallow dives for caddis flies on the cow pond |
|
July |
mid-summer pond . . . hopping from dry reed to dry reed red-winged blackbird |
|
August |
. . . early August eve the few clouds trail each other across the sky |
|
September |
autumn river wind . . . some goldeneye ducks sleeping on the sunlit rocks |
|
October |
October prairie . . . in a few inches of water little black ducks |
|
November |
still November day only the small frozen creek covered with snow |
|
December |
blue winter sky the two pure black crows wheeling around each other |
