Signs of summer’s endOn full display without remorse.A new season nears.
The sweet aroma Tickles the nose, a delight.Sun-baked, sappy pines.
Spring’s arrival bringsAn auspicious sound. ReturnOf the hummingbird.
UnmistakableSound. Wild, guttural calling.The elk rut begins.
Hugged by the Aspen.Kissed by the quaking leaves thatwhisper their secrets.
