summer sunflower
In the community garden where I live, I planted sunflowers.
I’ve never grown them before, but I remember my dziadzi (grandfather in Polish) used to grow them in his garden in Tempe.

long time coming
these two giants were chopped down today.
as much as i love nature, i don’t understand why people plant things like this a foot away from their home.
my hoa required them to be trimmed once per year because they make such a mess,
dropping seeds, branches, and fronds…
…on my roof, and in front of my entrance.
and then the day came when the tree trimmers said they were too tall to climb.
goodbye trees too tall to climb.
too tall to see.
too tall.

yellow is for watersports
this is the first rose from my yard.
when i worked at the renaissance festival,
i learned that yellow roses symbolize watersports.
what? you didn’t know?

spiderweb
I almost destroyed this web the other day because it looked like a black widow web-tangled and sticky-but the light caught it just right today, and I realized it was another spider’s web. so beautiful.
