Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem. This is the last day of National Poetry Writing Month and National Poetry Month. I’ve written a poem every day this month. Actually, I’ve written a poem every day for about five years. I’m thinking about not writing every day to focus more on my art, but then I do love writing.
Today’s poem is…

Everything
instances of "Life finds a way,"
#smallpoems #clmooc #poetry24 #poetry #napowrimo #napowrimo24 #lifefindsaway
Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem.
One of my favorite things to find is an example of “Life finds a way,” because it seems to be true: life will find a way. Here a small plant found a way: a seed, a bit of dirt, the rain. That’s all it needed, and now it grows in spot in the rock wall until the gardener pulls it out, I’m sure and sad. But the little plant could have roots and pull…

Spring in Shadows
"Spring in Shadows," emphasizes nature's patterns and encourages seeing things differently.
#smallpoems #clmooc #poetry24 #poetry #napowrimo #napowrimo24 #tanka #perspectives
Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem.
On this day a year ago, the day was warm and sunny, and down the street around the cul-de-sac this lovely shadow pattern of leaves displayed on the sidewalk.
I had to look up and then down again, enjoying the change of perspective as the spring green grass with bright yellow dandelions gives way to the grey and black on the sidewalk.
Above, spring…

They inspire poetry and art: Arrowleaf Balsamroot. And, I believe, it is…

Reflection on the World in the Meadow
reflections on women's freedom and rights
#smallpoems #clmooc #poetry24 #poetry #napowrimo #napowrimo24 #womensrights #healthcare
Photo by Scott Hunter
Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem.
When out and about with Guthrie by myself, I find my mind wandering to how I feel about the world. I feel less free, that much is for sure.
My mom didn’t drive. One reason is because we didn’t have a car for years. My dad was able to use one of the “company” cars where he worked. She also took in ironing from a friend, and for…

P24 So Delicate
a fairy-like spectacle along the park path as the wind blows the blossoms off the cherry trees
#smallpoems #clmooc #poetry24 #poetry #napowrimo #napowrimo24 #haiku #cherryblossom
Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem.
April can be windy, and when it is, the crab apple and cherry blossoms, so delicate, fall by the gazillions to land in every nook and cranny of our path to the park, looking like dancing fairies as the wind wind blows them down the street. Still, gazillion more are still on the tree for us to enjoy both on the path and on the trees.
I love…

Always a Choice
standing up for others and making choices that reflect kindness and empathy
#smallpoems #clmooc #poetry24 #poetry #napowrimo #napowrimo24 #bekind
Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem.
What is one of the riskiest or bravest things you’ve ever done?
Accompanying Scott to a conference in Olympia, we searched downtown for a shoe store because Scott forgot his dress shoes.
While Scott shopped, I looked out the window, watching the passersby on the street.
I noticed two gangster-dressed / attitude boys walking with another boy…

On weekends we start the day together with coffee, tea, mud, or cacao shell tea. On Saturday, the mugs are clear glass. On Sunday the mugs are glass etched with grave vines. Every weekend. It’s our tradition. We start the days together, reading, in conversation, enjoying the morning light together.

Sunny Blooms
apple, cherry, and crab apple trees bloom in our yard; a bit about Guthrie
#smallpoems #clmooc #poetry24 #poetry #napowrimo #napowrimo24 #haiku #cherrytree #appletree #crabappletree
Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem.
Our afternoon walk ended with this scene: our blooming trees: apple, cherry, and crab apple. It’s stunning right now. Looks like the apple tree needs pruning! And it looks like there will be plenty of apples and crab apples for the deer in autumn. The cherry trees are ornamental and don’t grow fruit.
Guthrie had a great day today: he met a new…

Bumble Bee Pink
poetic description of a bumblebee feasting on the crab apple blossoms; bumblebee info

Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem.
Returning from our afternoon walk, I admired, as usual, our lovely pink crab apple tree blossoms, and a bumble posed! Do you see him in the upper right?
Bumble bees are one of the first bees out and one of the last bees done in autumn, as late as November because they can fly in the cold. That also means they can feast off many varieties of plants,…

On Earth, They Flourish
beauty of the earth and the potential threat to its biodiversity
#smallpoems #clmooc #poetry24 #poetry #napowrimo #napowrimo24 #flourish #naturesbounty #climatechange
Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem. A few days ago I wrote a poem about nature– a gift to visit and relax away from the busy life in the city, “In Spring, Leave.” I wrote it after a road trip through the Okanogan Highlands in Ferry County along the Sanpoil River and across Keller Ferry.
I get pretty sentimental about all the lovely natural creatures and plants on this earth when…

Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem.
Yesterday, a young couple parked their electric bicycles and took portraits of themselves by our blossoming cherry and crab apple trees.
They really are something to behold– up and down our street along the boulevard are blossoming crab apple trees that bring the delight of a…
