October 31

A jacket 
once comforting 
is now just heavy 
and too hot 

October 30

Sunlight and shadows, plus 
leaves and colours, plus 
a camera, plus 
some time to myself, equals 
magic 

October 29

After the rain 
Snails 
Everywhere
Just where did they all come from? 

October 28

Bright red 
the tiny creature 
scurries across the white table 

October 27

After an unintentionally long break 
from my words 
It's easier to see 
what I actually wrote

October 26

a haze of light 
shines 
on the window screen 

October 25

new roses 


deep burgundy 
tightly closed buds 
waiting 

October 24

Sand patterns 
In the empty bath 
It's nearly summer 

October 23

The tree is full of buzz 
A lone bee walks across the cement 

October 22

Birds chuckle in the trees 
Warm weather 

October 21

After the rain 
The tomato plants are growing well 
So are the weeds 

October 20

Burst of warm weather 
Concern of conversations 
The quality of sleep

October 19

In the middle of the road 
A once loved Barbie doll 
lays rejected 

October 18

sure footed 


The workman next door 
stands on the tiled roof 
as though it is the ground 

October 17

One hour alone at the beach 
and I feel refreshed 

October 16

A rummage through my bag 
fails to uncover the house keys 
My plans for the next hour 
suddenly change  

October 15

On the street parallel to ours 
Vibrant colours light up 
a front yard garden 


(and yesterday was the first time this year that I forgot to post a small stone! The only other day not posted was because Blogger was down) 

October 14

Thick lines of water 
fuzzy blobs cover the ground 
then 
tiny balls of ice bounce 

October 13

"Thank you so much for your support"
A few words pop out
from the noise blur

October 12

Wind powered twirl
Shadow lines dance across
the circle of leaves

October 11

Sifting through clutter 
piece by piece 
objects 
papers  
and I am full of memories 

October 10

I begin wanting to photograph the flowers 
then I notice the bees 
bright orange on their legs 
I wait 
patiently 
for one to pose 

October 9

Clumps of dusty pink 
nestled amongst the leaves 

October 8

Gentle clatter 
breaks the stillness 
of a house asleep 

October 7

Curves and bumps 
tiny black dots 
scamper in all directions 

October 6

A speckled pattern on the cement 
Slowly darkens 

October 5

The smell of pending rain 
lingers in the air 
a cloud of comfort 

October 4

Lining the sides of the streets 
Big trees 
wearing velvet red coats 

October 3

Facebook chat 


In the same room 
they type to each other 
while verbally they discuss 
how to make emoticons 

October 2

light and shadows play 
on the huge leaves 
I wash another plate 

October 1

Tiny purple flowers 
circle in the wind 
welcome home
