Autumn came
With an October wind
That brought a crisp hue of orange
To the canopy of the city
A sea of flickering lives
Hurried about
When the autumnal winds blew
Nature
Beach in Grenada

Dried flowers in Autumn

A droplet in the waves
I am a droplet of water
Born in the clouds
Fallen to the sea
A single drop among the waves
Battered by the elements
Taken to plunging depths
I am a droplet of water
Born in the ocean
I am the entire sea
Shifting sand
The shallow pools left behind when the waves recede leave a constantly shifting mirage of dunes and landscapes.
Mayan Temple in Tikal
It’s not hard to see how Mayan cities of old can be swallowed by the jungle. This temple in Tikal, Guatemala stands well above the nearby trees, and is adorned with a special room at the top for priests to perform rituals.
Itty-bitty teeny-tiny toad

Sea turtle staring contest
The expression that this turtle displays in his venerable eyes is part of the reason that I love turtles so much!
