last night
i walked the ditch out front
muck boots but no muck
it's deeper than it used to be
and treacherous with
hidden rocks
the flowers were singing
color here!
i picked a basketful
and this morning's sunrise
again singing, this time by birds
this is a little lakeside place
near here
where the channel around
an island
flows shallow,
then deep
a place for a canoe or two.
at the old general store
i stole my own image
and jasper's place,
well, i've been by sunday
and there's no action that i can see
maybe it's a members only thing?
that's a handy bunch of colour you found there
ReplyDeleteit was mostly hidden until i walked the depths of that ditch!
ReplyDeletelove your walk, the views the flowers and that wild church !
ReplyDeleteDitch pickin', often the best!
ReplyDeletemc, i wish there were services i could spy on--
ReplyDeletevalerie, i do it often!
that church looks so voodoo maybe there is a service goin on but you need to go in widdershins
ReplyDeletemc, not sure north country jasper knows about voodoo, new orleans is "a fur piece" away.
ReplyDeleteHi V - thanks for sharing the neighbourhood in spring - such grand colours and new growth - and a sunset to share is always good. When I share my walk in Treeehaven Way - I often think of you doing similar walks in you neighbourhood. Good connection. Go well. B
ReplyDeleteblack eyed susans!
ReplyDeletebarry, our neighborhood walks are essential for many thing, especially connecting us to our places, don't you think.
ReplyDeleteneki, oh, yes! aren't they beautiful with the st john's wort?
Thanks for taking us on your walk - lots of interesting stuff to see!
ReplyDeletesuch beautiful images on a wonderful walk...that last image is sure a mystery.
ReplyDeletesharmon, it's a good walk, for sure
