Docked

The Anacortes Ferry Terminal as seen from the beach.  This ferry had just arrived from Sidney, British Columbia.  As the cars unloaded, those of us waiting for our ferry to the San Juan Islands had to wait behind a locked gate as customs agents processed the cars and then swept through the ferry.

Brrrr

A very frosty morning on Lake Padden.

Leaves of Grass

I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey work of the stars.
--Walt Whitman

The grasses whisper of summer

and stretch toward the sun.

Out to Pasture

This chair in an alley in the York neighborhood is quietly returning to the earth.

Goldenlit Grasses

Goldenlit grasses

warm in the afternoon.

The quick winter sun passes

and much too soon

they'll be silverlit grasses

in the light of the moon.
