We are called the exquisite bloom of February
We are called wild and grow freely

Very very annoying are people who arrive
an       hour and a half late for lunch.

Dawn climbs over the ridge, not yet reaching neighbor’s front yard

Tone on tone plumes

Neighbor up the hill has a backyard light on

Early morning sun, frozen water drops

Foggy morning drive to work

Afternoon patch of light on new south-facing wall
