aspens burn gold
a reminder that this quiet dome
was born in fire
Sierra San Antonio, one of the gateposts between Colorado’s San Luis Valley & New Mexico’s Taos Plateau, is a hardened blister of lava, a remnant of the region’s explosive volcanic past. #haiku #roadtrip #newmexico

ten seconds of rain
cannot quench this drought
it can create flaming sunsets
After all the cloud-tower-building and gusting wind yesterday evening, no rain fell, but we did receive a few minutes of memorable sunset flame show. I’ll take that! #haiku #clouds #sunset #colorado

in my garden
nasturtiums turn faces toward dawn—
sun salutation
My front-yard edible garden never fails to make me smile. This morning it was the nasturtiums, every blossom turned toward sunrise, as if eager for the day. A great attitude to emulate! #haiku #plantwisdom #colorado

sun-haloed
rabbitbrush offers abundance—
last of summer’s gold
Plantswoman Lauren Springer calls rabbitbrush “last bar open” b/c it blooms late—into October—& offers an abundance of pollen & nectar for bees, beetles, moths & butterflies. A generous example for all.

silvered purple
lavender channels summer
while scenting fall
It’s a liminal time for us all, as we feel the changing seasons, the tension between past, present, and the unknowable future. A time to slow, reflect and appreciate the gift of life. Right now. #haiku #reflections
