Northern Lake: A Chorus of Color in Four Movements

August 29, 2012

— — —

Pink cloud band’s
Purple tone
Borne on liquid
Swells
Vanishes
 
Golden streak announcing
Sun rising
Clouds gathering
Sun dissolving
Gone
 
Then, faint
Faint gray
Faint gray waves
Emerging – a pulse
Morning
 
Now, pale
Yellowish-pink hues
Lake silver-blue
Calm
Nearly glass

Daybreak

July 23, 2012

A chorus of birds
Serenades the morning star
Distant train joins in

Relentless Heat

Goldfinch sipping from
Saucer in shade – grass so dry
Crunching underfoot

A late-night country drive home

July 3, 2012

Moonlit field of corn
Stretching to the river bank
A blue-white shimmer

North Woods Reflection – post 4

June 20, 2012

One morning around 5:30 I walked down to the lake’s edge – just for the heck of it – and my mouth literally dropped open:

Island stands ablaze
Amidst a steamy pink fog
Lit by rising sun

North Woods Reflections – post 3

June 20, 2012

An involuntary reaction to nature’s conspiracy against my particular morning mood:

Sunrise, long shadows
Lake as glass, birds are singing
I laugh – such beauty!
