Under the Tree


The white red bud in our front yard is huge,
bigger than it should be to achieve its maximum aesthetic potential.
We will probably pay someone to trim the tree next spring.
My visiting teacher said that being in my living room is like sitting in a tree house.
If she sat on the bench on our front porch. she'd feel that way even more.
The other day, I had the irresistible urge to lie under that tree and take a picture of leaves and sky.
So I did.

Antelope Island Three Days Ago


Wind, rock, open sky,
Still, quiet, tranquil freedom,
Timeless bison roam.
