after a night foraging……..

By neighdoctor June 16, 2016 after a night foraging……..

before settling in his nest home after a night foraging,
the raccoon watched the curious humans watching him

pause

By neighdoctor October 27, 2014 pause

Yellow-rumped warblers are often seen whirling past as two chase each other; this one stopped just long enough for me to catch his profile.

Young doe with ears alert to the other does moving away behind her while her alert eyes are glued on me.

By neighdoctor October 10, 2014 gliding rocker

gliding rocker
three abreast
found by students
brought to rest
where ecology is taught

shadowing trees
stir my childhood memories
lazy reading days
stretched across scratchy pillows
one toe dangling pushing
creaking metal to and fro

how savory wafting fragrance
grandma’s biscuits and honeysuckle
still my mouth waters so
gliding rocker
brings memories decades old

The fawn was as interested in me as I was in it
we both breathed quietly.
