It was pouring rain the last day of school. Here is my family waiting for the bus under their umbrellas. It was a great year, now SUMMER HERE WE COME!!!!
Sunrise 5 May
He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity’s sun rise.
William Blake
Morning Light
I wonder if other children have to eat breakfast in the dark to fully appreciate the sun rising outside? Mine of course have known no other way, but now that summer is near, they usually miss the sunrise. As the days grow longer, there is even enough light to sneak in a painting before breakfast. This is my view from my kitchen sink.
Climbing Tree
Climbing Trees: A Poem
By Joe Suzz
Mom seeking quiet
Hurried me outside:
–
Forgetting my shoes by the front closet,
Leaving my socks on the back porch
Through the screen door, then,
Running to the canopying maples
Just past the clustered pines,
–
Mom had things to do, but she gravitated towards
The double paned glass.
–
Star burning energy, glimpses of sensation:
–
Climbing high enough to see Robin’s nest,
It’s fluttering wings, perched on the twisted twigs,
Feeding its young.
I perched myself a time or two. Watching my dog, Nicky, chasing squirrels
Along the fence. Sometimes, seeing my mom through the branches.
–
In the crossing of brief moments,
Childhood eclipsed.
Wildflower Heaven
Beautifully colorful. Almost gaudy. It is a fine line, my 6 year old walks it all the time.
Long and Windy Road
I love a dirt double track. Bluebonnets and live oaks are just icing.
West Texas Sunset
Even parking lots and highways are pretty when nature’s light show starts.
Evening Primrose – Last Light
They almost look like lights the way these flowers glow from within.
6:26am Texas Sunrise
Heading West before dawn is a good feeling.
Reading Tree
I love prairie flowers, and the way the change every few weeks. This composition was tricky with that one live oak tree, but what a lovely walk to such a beautiful reading spot. Spend a minute under that tree today when things get crazy.
