Longing
Amid the sparse vegetation of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California, a lone tree stands out.
Triple-digit day—
a tree in the wilderness
longs for winter’s rains.

Lonely Place
A blush spreads across the sky at day’s end in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Southern California.
In this lonely place,
where will you rest for the night,
weary little dove?

Scream
An almost cloudless day makes it easy for raptors to hunt in California’s Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.
A few passing clouds
can’t mute a hawk’s piercing scream—
the field mice tremble.

Blue Monday: Distant Mountain
Colorful aspen trees brighten a hillside in California’s Inyo National Forest.
From a distant mountain, surrounded by blue sky,
I hear a raven calling, and I wonder why.
Perhaps he has a message that I need to hear,
Or maybe it’s just nonsense—who will make it clear?

Authenticity
Colorful aspen trees brighten a hillside in California’s Inyo National Forest.
Authenticity:
the aspens do not pretend
to be oaks or pines.
