Heart-shaped autumn foliage, northern ArizonaA show of red pops against the weathered dead branches and late summer foliage in the canyons of northern Arizona. I didn’t notice that it was heart-shaped until sorting out photos this week.

i carry your heart with me by ee cummings

i carry your heart with me
(i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is you doing, my darling
i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s whatever you are a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you.

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of a sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart.
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

Avocado leaves curled into a heart shapeDuring winter the Avocado leaves become very crisp, and when crumbled in the hands the scent is kind of like licorice.

Painted Turtle, Lewisville, TexasAll the  recent rain in Lewisville (Texas) has washed out a few reptiles into our neighborhood from the nearby canal…a Painted Turtle showed up by a neighbor’s garage and was the center of attention for a few hours until it was brought back to the canal area. The same neighbor found a snake in their garage earlier last week. Judging from their description it may have been a non-venomous Rough Green Snake.

Ruby-eyed Rabbits

There are lots of rabbits in the back yard eating the grass and digging up the potatoes. They’re very tame but  if I get too close they freeze completely still, one of their ploys to deter predators…but I’m smiling and thinking, ’hey rabbit, it’s not working, I’ve already seen you!’
