afternoon

children playing games

late afternoon light warming

thunder birds circle

Sugar shack

old creek creeping by
wood smoke and tree sap simmering
waiting for sugar

fly shops

hackles hurls and hooks
long thin fly poles, floating line
browns brooks and steelhead

dinner party

Birds dancing in snow
vulture crashes the crows feast
feathers swirling up

thunder bird

closing on white field
wings held  wide, a great bird,
crows swirling, hawk watches

birds at night

hazy orange lights
storm clouds rolling in the dark
birds singing to night

Hawk

spring day, ice stones fall.
red tailed hawk facing the storm
where has the green gone

fishing

on the waters edge
waiting to fight the river
chasing little fish

silly nurse

phone calls of worry
bloody lip cut by ice knife
boy hood adventures

last night

clouds
  thick with
 w a t e r
