Poetry and Pictures: A Farewell to Summer

SUMMER
by Eva Getman


Gray sky striped 

with lighting bolts 

of many colors 

the field is blooming below

a flowery mat across the ground 


that then soars high into the sky 


on wings that flutter and hum


while making honey


so golden as it falls 


from the sky above 


in rivers so grand


as they flow 


through the moose's halls 


of willow trees 



so grand and tall.



A Spotted Towhee dining on a scrub acorn.


A young Mallard male preening his feathers. 




Doesn't this butterfly look like an angel?

I think this is my prettiest photo of a hummingbird!



Doesn't this hawk look regal?

My best shot of a Northern Flicker! 


I think this Cedar Waxwing just took a bath.

The most Barn Swallows I've seen in one tree!



My first rattlesnake!

A herd of  Mule Deer


A Mariposa Lily

 Aren't bees all snuggled up together too cute?



This could be our first Rufous Hummingbird!?!?!
