Spying


From potted plant marches to windowsill gardens to city oases,
I spy/collect/desire/create
home.

dogs have adventures, too


"my little bear cub"


"lady on the rock n' roll"


"is that an alien? they wondered"


"turtle turtle"

Super Lady and Fat Cat





Super Lady the brave
versus
the (somewhat evil) Fat Cat of Yawning!

Public Place, Secret Moments


"oooops"


" 'come sail away' is now stuck in my head"


"secret paths"


"wildflower cliff"


"wildflower cliffhanger"

I can't believe I live here:


"alone but not lonely"


"cactus patch"


"head for the coast"


"no bananas but that's okay with me"

Portrait 116


will it rain
or won't it?
today can't make up its mind.

Crown vs Noose




Fabric planes and bronze-tarnished moose
Finding snapdragons and tiger lilies to make
a crown or a noose

Egypt or bust




Cactus piercings like succulent pendants,
A thirsty Nile that waits for you--
Purple and yellow and green and onyx,
Obvious treasures in every hue.

Morning.




wake me up when the gardenias bloom,
when vines crawl, pulsing like veins;
setting foot in your garden of fringe
is walking through bold summer rains.

Garden Cradles


Tiny, baby flower gardens
cooing to me
in sky-bound nurseries
and terracotta cradles

5.08.2012

Lead me home


canary yellow explosion
and Egypt map corrosion
lead me home, lead me home
to my cactus garden home

Under da sea




goldfish duos
and seahorse lovers
worlds filled with baubles
and tiny coral wonders

aquamarine


aquamarines and brain coral scenes
flying rays and jellyfish plays
holding your breath
not because you're underwater
but because you're under their spell
