Ice on the puddles & all over the way.
The last white daisies cling to stubborn green stems.
Sky opening & closing & maybe a little unsure which way to go.

Tiny cherry tomatoes clinging to the vine on the plant in the kitchen.
Far away flat sun.

A flock of loud starlings sit in the top branches of the big tree out back, all facing the settting sun.
The black & white alley cat prowls around the base of the thick tree.
Moonlight reflected in the big puddle.

The sky is flat & the air is still.
Muddy earth under foot.
Bare trees on the mountain, in the distance, blending into dark shades.
A strange lavender mist cloaks the trees shortly before sunset.
Moonrise sharp & clear

Chill in the air.
Moon rises.
Sky clear & cold.

Big black crow drinking from a puddle in the alley out back.
Sunlight twinkling like little bells off the surface of the slow river.
Wind whispering its way through the long mottled grass.
Bolts of yellow leaves still clinging to the bare trees triumphant in the November sun.
Two chinchillas snuggled together like lovers or brothers or both.
Fringed canary singing love songs for my benefit.
Clouds drift leisurely through Sunday's blue sky.

Double rainbow arching over the whole world almost down by the cold river as the the light turns super-natural before putting itself to bed.
Yellow leaves twitching in the electric light of the setting sun.
A small dog runs up a small hill.
Clusters of red berries remain on a a bare tree.
A black & white run-away cat tears off through the long grass.

Grey skies hang over head.
Yellow trees pale in the flat afternoon light.
Dry & cold & things turning to bone.
Dark stripes in the grey band of clouds, clearly alluding to snow.
A lone gull bobs its head crying for more.
Calico pigeons rummage around my feet, also begging for more.
The sky veiled & distant, like a 30 watt bulb.

Fierce autumn winds whipping dead yellow leaves around & above everything like flocks of mad birds.
The yellow & orange & red leaves on the trees shiver & tremble in their final chromatic acts of the year.
Sky cold & grey & flat as steel.

Chick-a-dee tending her nest.
The heat & weight of the afternoon sun on my face.
Little whirl winds of dead fall leaves.
Sumac tree with fat fuzzy fruits.
Working with weeping willow & stalks of cotton buds.
The pink dusting of sunset on the scattered clouds.
The October moon @ three quarters full on a chilly clear night.
