good morning, I spoke softly to the zig zagging rabbits on my predawn rambles

A picturesque sunset over a quiet street, with vibrant pink and purple hues in the sky, power lines overhead, and a tree at the end of the road.

where are the coyotes? have they had their fill of rabbits this year?

then pooped on my shed

I often witnessed the seals still snoozing

they sleep later (& maybe better) than I do

sometimes I would sing…good morning starshine, the earth says hello

they watched me, do they know my voice?

I whisper to shore birds that I would never harm them

ecological disaster?v I asked Jack

I’ll be right there

MORE ANIMAL ENCOUNTERS…

A deer walk by my mother-in-law’s window…magic for us both.

I spotted an elusive oriole twice…come back please.

I tried to befriend a crow, we aren’t quite there yet. Maybe next year?

We watched osprey parents trying to get their kiddos to fledge.
