Flap Happy Day

A flap happy day with a sea lion     
             who would love to learn to fly.

"Oh, if I had feathers on my flippers I could fly. fly. fly."

"Let me show you ways to use 

those flippers for elevation. . . ."

Sun's Antics

After days and daze of June gloom, the sun attempts to outlast the clouds with his antics and collaboration before his slither into the sea.

 

Wind Warrior

Breeze teases Phoebe 

defied gravity's jest

insects flutter above the grass.

Wind warrior Awaits 

clack of beak decides

Flash soars dips and dives leaving his shadow on the cave.

Works of Heart

A New Friend

Met a new friend on my garden's favorite flower. 

"Just sunning," she said. 

After our chat she promised to tend to the weeds instead.

Astonishments

Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work, which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished. - Mary Oliver
