Auld lang syne

Time to close the door
make some new resolutions
welcome the new year

Deck the halls

Prickly evergreen

reminder of spring to come

lightning protector

Mystic orbs

Floating orbs of light

around the Christmas candle

guardian angels

Joy

Christmas time wishes

for peace and joy in the world

Merry Christmas one and all

Pentastic

Pentastic

power and prestige

Emilia

Elysium

Ultimate freedom

the bird of paradise sings

faithfulness and love

Eight fifty seven

Eight fifty seven

on a cold and cloudy day

time seems to stand still

Irish lace

Just an old window

with Irish lace and cob webs

Who would have thought it

Still there

Still hanging in there

while other leaves have fallen

has time passed you by

Trinetra

The seat of wisdom

portal to enlightenment

gateway to the soul

Bath time

Winter has arrived

the year's first snow has fallen

The bath looks frosty

Compelling

An open heart is 

simply irresistible

my lover my love

A super moon

The wold moon rises

on a cold December night

listen for the howl

Winter sky

Cold dark winter clouds

scuttle across once blue sky

snow will soon follow

Fading embers

Fading embers

from a burning bush

glowing in the cold

Nymphaea

On a serene pond

floating above attachment

offering rebirth

Immiscible

Like oil and water

alcohol and driving

sex and politics

True love

Blossoming friendship

lasting through eternity

free to be yourself

Time

Time an abstraction

past, present on to future

irreversible

Atumnal fog

As the fog rolls in

the pond takes on a stillness

relaxing the mind

In essence

The heart of beauty

is found in simplicity

black, white, shades of gray

Purely elegant

With winter coming

the world turns to black and white

time to hibernate

Salvation

Don't gaze at the sun

it's been known to cause blindness

or deliverance

Phi

The sun, moon and stars

together as summer ends

a golden spiral

Fall Iris

As leaves fall

a late iris blooms

what wonder

Joy

The joy of running

comes from within the runner

you need to try it

Waves

Waves breaking on shore

or grass waving in the wind

a big Kahuna

The stream

Fall along the stream

a colorful leaf carpet

nature at its best

Free falling

A leaf in free fall

having let go of its tree

looking for a net

The fence

A white picket fence

surrounds the cottage front yard

Why is it needed

In the clouds

Don't let the low clouds

get in the way of vision

change your point of view

Autumn stroll

A passing sunbeam

brightened the dark forest path

showing us the way

Two views

Impressionism

creeps up on realism

which do you prefer

Seeing spots

Moving spot to spot

in search of a cucumber

this beetle seems lost

The web

Summer colors fade

a cool rain adds highlights to

a spider's hard work

Quiet meditation

Leaves of green

early morning dew

a day dream

Fire and light

Bright autumn sunlight

brings an iridescent look

a blaze of glory

Flawed beauty

Fading autumn leaves

regard the imperfection

time to get the rake

Waiting

Waiting for darkness

so we can light one candle

just playing with light

Morning light

As the sun comes up

the morning glory glows bright

showing inner heat

Triangulation

Green leaves white petals

with just a hint of pale pink

warming a fall day

The oculus

Gazing at nature

sometimes nature gazes back

try hard not to blink

The bench

Come sit for awhile

enjoy the warm fall sunshine

seasons are changing

Fall

Fall is in the air

and leaves have started to turn

where is my sweater

Morning flight

Early morning launch

through seven decades of flight

so we may be safe

Prickly

Life can be prickly

try to enjoy the flowers

and avoid the thorns

Reflections

Looking back in time

reflecting on seasons past

we lose clarity

Fire within

a fire from within

burns with great intensity

pure enlightenment

Starting over

starting over

we all wish we could

but we can't

Sweet dreams

A wave of flowers

breaks over unopened buds

hope of new friendship
