Equinox Beauty

Orange harvest moon
hanging low over treetops
ushering in Fall

Full moon

Illumination
Cat is hunting by moonlight
No field mouse is safe

Signs

A nip in the air
harvest-colored slanted light
Autumn imminent

winter preparation

Squirrel scampering
searching for the perfect place
to bury his nut

morning meal

Brilliant Goldfinch lands
seedpod sways bird balances
plucking thistle seeds

Hope

Dawning light creeps
Birthing possibilities
for the day ahead

Dinner

Osprey suspended
Sharpshooting the fish below
Dives victorious
