At Rudi's blog, an old vinal record:


songs escape
from these tired grooves
a needle's thread

Though I know you'll not visit my blog FJS (el "Toro") I extend to you... the best of birthday wishes.


this far light
streaks across the night pond
a bull sounds

As seen at Daniele Duteil's good blog. I thank you Daniele. _m

__Kathy and I have some dear, -our pond- friends. Among them, Bob and Teresa, ("Tree" as she is called,) are celebrating two grand events... the birth of their first grand child, and today is their 34th wedding anniversary!


thirty four years
this crow and the tree
a new branch

__A refreshed view... for today's (my) sour morning's out-look, and by seeing Lorraine's recent post... came this. Thanks, LL!


tree arms
reach into the sky
a bird

__Weeping willows, with their new and tender leaves, never a tear.


weeping willows
golden waves in this breeze
noon sun

Soon, Kathy and I will be spending much of our time at -our pond- that natural haven.


our pond
with greening underbrush
the doves

We've all seen cats... stalk a shadow;  this, from last summer's scribble book.
