a new friend and an old friend

ex nihilo

oak wilt

defiant

sumac take two

asta

two steps forward, one step back

when the muse has better things to do…

suspended animation

botanical fighting words

twenty four ways of looking at a sunflower

rorschach test

compost

a perfect growing season

the naturalist’s desk

scouting

hatch

going to seed

astral

tintype

that’s gotta hurt

soul food

bittersweet blue

right on cue

a prickly situation
