Root System Morphology of Oregon White Oak on a Glacial Outwash Soil

Deep tap root with fire
And poorly drained soils, gravel
Creates laterals

A Sciku
Missing green attire
Under the blue skin of earth
Bare white bones exposed

(A Haiku)
Like the pine needles
Quieting every footstep
On the asphalt path
*
A long walk outside
Quiets the noise in my mind
In only moments
*
Needled evergreens
Buffer the sounds of the road
The park is peaceful
*
Gone from the office
Far from the water cooler
And daily grumbles
*
A needed lunchtime escape
Prepared for the afternoon

Urban Gardeners

Swiss urban green thumbs
Go green for food, social, health
Reasons, wealth matters

This smeared dagger moth
Caterpillar steadily
Chews hydrangea leaf

First Day of Summer
_____________________________________
Under an umbrella of sunshine, white clover flowers rise above their own heart-shaped foliage amidst a green mat of linear leaves. They shudder in the warm gentle breeze, stopping only momentarily before vibrating again.
Bees visit flowers
Buzzing to bring life before
Mower buzzes through

Lunch at tattooed mom’s
Buddha with hamburger feet
Waffle fries tots beer

Uncomfortable

I grew some today
Expanding my comfort zone
Small jump big for me
