Seen

A path, leading. Like any other path, road, walk, drive. Leading somewhere. Anywhere.

Pure decadence.

I stopped. I finally stopped and pulled over. Camera poised to

capture the dogwood

Resting her image

so certainly on the stream below.

*****

So small. So tender. Pushing through the rough facade

and topography of its environs

Surviving. Reaching up.

Growing.

*****

Another storm rolling in. Charcoal layered on

rumbling thunder. The air held the pungent

familiar scent of impending rain.

*****

My dear friend's rockin' yellow rain boots.

*****

Blowing some magic bubbles into the air.

One day, maybe two weeks ago, we finally had a day

of sun and cornflower blue sky.

I took this photo through the sunroof

of my car.

It makes me smile.
