Gliding over deep ribbons of blue,
two slender necks lift toward the sun,
guiding a quiet trail of gray down behind them.
The water ripples with their steady grace.

Black wings open wide to meet the morning light,
A sudden flash of vivid yellow and deep blue.
Resting quietly among the tangled trail grass,
He warms himself before taking flight.

Soft lavender fringes crown the dune,
catching the damp lake air.
A hundred quiet threads
encircle a golden eye,
rooted gently in Long Point sand.

A tiny Red-winged Blackbird boldly mobs a giant Sandhill Crane to protect its marsh territory even to the point of landing on its back! Talk about fearless.

An ancient shell, a steady pace,
She carves a cradle in this space.
With quiet strength, she digs the sand,
To leave her legacy on land.

A fuzzy golden knight upon the bloom,
Dipped in velvet shadows, catching morning light.
Wings of translucent amber, steady and precise,
Drinking sweet white nectar in a floral paradise.

White wings glide on Rippled glass,
Five soft cygnets Gently pass.
Reed-lined waters, Warm and still,
Safe beneath Her orange bill.

Where sandy dunes and tall grass meet,
Lake Erie whispers soft and sweet.
Framed by driftwood, small waves break,
A quiet window to the lake.

Along the path,
Dame’s Rocket weaves
A purple crown of four-crossed leaves,
While Baby’s Breath, in starry white,
Spills rock garden mist so soft and light.

Velvet Amethyst
A sphere of stars stands tall.
Tight buds split open into wings.
Silver fur wraps a royal heart.
Three shades of purple rule the green.

The old structure gently gives way.
Not a loss, but a beautiful release.
Every scattered piece carries life forward,
unafraid of the next season.

A silver sphere of silk,
poised on a slender stem.
One sudden breath of wind,
and the perfect circle breaks.
A hundred drifting sails,
gone in a single afternoon.

Hidden in dry reeds,
the Great Blue Heron waits.
Stone-still, sharp-eyed,
frozen in the tall grass
until the perfect strike.
