Seaside

.

Under moody skies

alongside the grey-green waves

I search for fossils

Changeable weather

.

Like a string of pearls

depressions track from the west

no end is in sight

Cascade

.

Blossom glacier

in full and beautiful bloom

will melt and vanish

Refresh

.

So dry for so long

watering plants in April

at last the rain comes

Welcome invasion

.

Neighbour’s clematis

cascades over the trellis

vicarious vine

False hopes

.

Newly cut diamonds

fall from a chaotic sky

then dreams melt away

False start

.

Overwintering

butterflies emerge from sheds

wishing they had not

Northerly

.

From the north she blows

chilly Arctic air marches

winter hangover

Magnolia

.

All winter I wait

these magnificent moments

remind me to live
