These evocative haiku were written at the end of summer, upper Canyon Road, Santa Fe at Randall Davey Audubon Center
forest floor
carpeted with brown needles
Towhee rakes and rakes
shady hillside respite
branches intertwine
my healing green cape
hoping to see
what I hear
binocs in hand
old orchard
white tombstones
fruitless trees
gnarly, aged trees
my sedentary ancestors
recently fledged
raucous young crows
form a band
just off the trail
white-washed tibia
apache plume
beside the creek
rooted ferns flutter
under my shadow
Miriam's Well: Poetry, Land Art, and Beyond 
The entrance to our house is a narrow walkway with two towering evergreens (or ever blue, as one is a blue spruce). A mulchy wood chip forest floor surrounding some well placed stones. My husband sweeps and sweeps. The towhee rakes and takes!
I can see that so clearly. Thank you, Georgia, for your comment. Judy Mosher
