Ant
on a flower
Lawn mower

I’m too close
Bees buzz louder
in the begonias

Mountain views
The floating
lakeside dock

Flowers stand
in a widemouthed jar
Visiting Mom

Birdsong
and plumage
Sending out selfies

The dead
branches cut and cleared
Summer breeze

Standing on the bow
of a rocking skiff
Father’s Day

Wet dog shakes
in the sun – A crescendo
of scattering children

A jar of ice
cold lemonade
The mortuary table

Ostriches and lions
lounge on the grassland
Too hot today to run
