October is deep,
minnows in the sunny spots
of the cold creek bed.

also feel like early spring,

A view of grasslands with dramatic skies at sunrise.

Wild things who live here —
soft-bodied and stemmed, complete
in air and water.

and sunlight in October
and sends them along.

Grasslands at sunrise on a cloudy day.

A view of wildflowers and grasslands in September as the sun sets.

A black and white dog walks curiously along a faded deer path turough wild carrot, goldenrod and tall grass towards a field covered in a low bank of fog with the person who loves him most.

led us through soft wild carrot,
fog, clinging to it.
