bridal couples’ shadows

haunt my memory

talking and texting  

for decades

many steps walk this path  

never feel alone  

Colorful Drive

 

colorful drive

reds explode like fireworks

lipstick on leaves

* * * * *

acres of asters

and giant goldenrods

stop the car

* * * * *

the last light

decorated with a rainbow

sans my camera

Autumn's Golden Light

Jay Cooke State Park has a Swinging Bridge 

over the St. Louis River which makes for a very exciting road trip.

Due to rain and storm damage, it has been repaired or rebuilt now three times. 

It was much more exciting and had a wider range to the swing when I was younger.

Autumn Hike

 

early autumn -  

each woodland hike  

a holiday 

Seasonal Desires

wish for

long summer days

cool morning dew

* * * * *

seasonal slow down

golden autumn light

frozen in time

Garden Sanctuary

birds bees blossoms surround  

airplanes overhead

My favorite place is in our backyard garden sanctuary.

Conversely, I can look up to see airplanes and I imagine traveling.

Sweet Wonder

 

round honeycomb  

large as a dinner plate  

sweet wonder 

That Lump in the Throat

 

that lump in the throat  

when the heart slowly breaks  

 

the cabin's InBeaute sign  

that symbolizes our love and our life  

becomes part of our deep, rich past  

 

tears fall into the fire

Self-Portrait Burns

 

bonfire  

burns memories  

 

silly days  

pretending to be  

a painter  

 

now, I'm just me

Self portrait painting burns.
