First Frost
With the rising of the sun I awoke to our first glimmering frost catching the first rays of the returning light.
Pistol and stamen

for the summer
to their home in the pine tree.
Rubrum
When I was in college these flowers among many other small flowers stole my heart.

They are humble little plants.
They hide are under the bigger more showy plants in the shade.
And yet, every year just like they did so many years ago when they finally burst with these little pink blooms they stop me and invite me to bend down each day and enjoy them for the very short time they bloom.
