big bold sunflowers
ambitiously cheerful blooms
dulls chill of winter
fuels my dreams of summer
even the buzz of their bees

For Cees Flower Of The Day
The pear tree in the front yard is pretty close to the second floor porch. So we get to witness a bit of nature up close. The pace at which nubby buds change to to delicate blossoms is so interesting to watch. So we are blessed with having blooms, and pears within arms length.
An even more fun bonus of this proximity is being able to keep company with the visiting birds, bees and butterflies. So amidst this upheaval nature marches on, creating this space of respite.
in search of renewal
I bury my head
in the captivating blooms
of the pear tree –
a lone sparrow joins me

in my garden on this
cool near- autumn day
two butterflies and a bee
seem to be at play

On Garden culture –
Ants are about hauling several times their weight
Bees and butterflies share a flower
Showing no interest in exerting power
Just what have they figured out that we have yet to?
Maybe some day soon it’s something we’ll get up to
