Winter Solstice December 21, 2013
Little cotton-tail
Rabbit bolts, leaps, darts, zig-zags
White blur, brown thicket.

Moon by the River December 11, 2013

Clear night, moon cast long shadows
Dance upon water.

Grows in trees, green in winter

The last leaves hold tight
Blustery cold wind moves in
Trees are left naked!

Garden art fairy
Sketches and paints for shear bliss
A gift to stranger.
