big bold sunflowers

ambitiously cheerful blooms

dulls chill of winter

fuels my dreams of summer

even the buzz of their bees

#Wordless Wednesday

Full Circle

rainbow of colors
scattered autumn leaves wind swept –
lingering seagull

the crane has come home
cherry blossom in full bloom
second chance at love

sunflower stands tall
blue sky on memorable
summer day, no clouds

butterfly on bush
alone, gorging on nectar
wings color of beer

reflects in puddles

morning stroll on beach

seagulls squawk and dive
feast on rain storm’s new bounty
moves at lightning speed

in mountain garden
peony is in full bloom
nightingale’s solo
