harsh snow :: a corpse at the dam
tempslibres
election day :: a butterfly about to settle on the seesaw
tempslibres
new moon :: my sister's voice after all this time
tempslibres
steam billows from the cooling tower :: sunrise
tempslibres
morning mist-- a canada goose asleep on the dock
tempslibres
painting the dark side of the house-- solstice
tempslibres
midnight-- the changing wind in the silver maples
tempslibres
the boat crests a wave - tracing my finger around an ancient stone
tempslibres
urban geese - voices extemporise around a sitar
tempslibres
so cold - a goose honks its way across the night sky
tempslibres
sodium light - a darker world beneath the puddles
tempslibres
lockerbie - the long walk from graveyard into town
tempslibres
silbury hill - my wife pregnant with our first child
tempslibres
cold snap - more than my prints on the camera
tempslibres
summer haze- a lone grey wolf pads south along the highway
tempslibres
thrill of her flute - twenty three years of our lips touching
tempslibres
stilled by the stream - delicate frost flowers crunch under work boots
tempslibres
evening traffic - caught in a low moon the heron's flight
tempslibres
slow-falling snow the steady hand of the beggar
tempslibres
June wedding cottonwood fluff in the veil
tempslibres
refilling the pill box rain begins to wash the blossoms away
tempslibres
August heat the sizzle of thick cut bacon
tempslibres
Distant thunder-- the smell of rain before the storm.
tempslibres
Under the Magnolia red seeds float away-- November rain.
tempslibres
april noon out come the sun and some slugs
tempslibres
street garden again without leaves faded graffiti
tempslibres
school bus finally round the bend lighting a cigarette
tempslibres
rubber boots looking for the next deeper puddle
tempslibres
rain clouds basking in the light of an Ikea lamp
tempslibres
Day of the Oscars- in the Spring sun I plant onions...
tempslibres
November clouds- hearing of my sister's illness...
tempslibres
after the storm the wind chimes realigning
tempslibres
riding down the escalator the scent of snow on damp coats
tempslibres
cracking walnut-- there might be another universe
tempslibres
around where the steppingstone ends off autumn gone
tempslibres
from an old temple to an old temple autumn wind
tempslibres
hundreds of gentians blooming-- class reunion
tempslibres
typhoon passed-- one watering can in the sandbox
tempslibres
typhoon passed-- comes the local circus
tempslibres
red dragonflies gather around the blind person
tempslibres
eclipse the sudden darkness of her eyes
tempslibres
rivulets on a foggy window the cancer's spread
tempslibres
first Christmas a tiny new stocking joins the family
tempslibres
moonlight baby's cheek at breast
tempslibres
early spring everything dripping
tempslibres
quitting time the smell of rain in the lobby
tempslibres
waves slowly cresting towards shore a faint moon
tempslibres
rainy bridge- the river flowing faster
tempslibres
spring breeze- the balcony's shadows on my book
tempslibres
winter drizzle all the passing faces look into the cafe
tempslibres
dwindling bonfire a shooting star near Orion
tempslibres
cold night- a plane blinks through Orion's bow
tempslibres
late night at the office an exit sign floats next to the moon
tempslibres
dark tree silhouettes low on the horizon Orion rises
tempslibres
earthquake night Tokyoites walking home the long Friday
tempslibres
back to my hometown blooming with a sweet scent mom's oriental lilies
tempslibres
thunder rolling thinking of my daughter at the campsite
tempslibres
frozen blueberries in a bowl of yogurt by the fireside
tempslibres
traffic jam melting snow runs on the windshield
tempslibres
a sunny day pink haze of the cherry blossoms over the hill
tempslibres
the old temple a snake on the stone step crawling away
tempslibres
a shower of falling sparks neighbors wish a good year
tempslibres
after the rain red carpet under the persimmon tree
tempslibres
typhoon warning a farmer on the path between the rice fields
tempslibres
the farmer lady a few daffodils in a basket of white radish
tempslibres
a new year's bonfire misty rain on the embers
tempslibres
scent of lilies orange pollen on my white sweater
tempslibres
crisp morning air a bird left his feather at my window
tempslibres
muggy night a lizard on the window screen - motionless
tempslibres
summer night breeze each wish on bamboo branches
tempslibres
rain clouds fragrance of sweet basil
tempslibres
hunter's moon -- the end of the path darker
tempslibres
after the guests leave the lilies open
tempslibres
grey sky a monarch butterfly lost in autumn
tempslibres
frost on the spent firework casing new year's day
tempslibres
winter park - white wings and blue lights flashing
tempslibres
photo archive the ice skaters' grins frozen in time
tempslibres
a wasp struggling in the web last apples
tempslibres
clematis climbing climbing through the climbing rose
tempslibres
fifteen elephants - after the storm the cockerels waking
tempslibres
anti social behaviour - all night the wind kicks a can around
tempslibres
day long weeding the last dandelion under my bench
tempslibres
lazy rain the solitary blackbird's dawn chorus
tempslibres
last light on the allotment the glow of a fag dimp
tempslibres
crushed shell in the morning light the snail's last movements
tempslibres
leading deeper into the woods just birdsong
tempslibres
elevator an ex's scent hanging
tempslibres
returning from night shift my neighbour and his cat
tempslibres
the old barn wall with every missing brick a swallows nest
tempslibres
frosty morning the steam rising from roofs and my African coffee
tempslibres
recycled with each bottle the same resolution
tempslibres
morning mizzle the screech of a gull far from the sea
tempslibres
tinted windows - through the gap his fingers wriggle thanks
tempslibres
approaching storm even the gate has lost its squeak
tempslibres
April 2nd the snow still lying
tempslibres
two dog walkers meet - two conversations
tempslibres
the broken panes of the old greenhouse - still the new shoots
tempslibres
school fair on the fireman's helmet a faint smell of smoke
tempslibres
frozen dawn the runner recovering in his own steam
tempslibres
morning rush hour at the side of the road wild damsons
tempslibres
