Constantly making a mess
Fruit is delicious

Closing front gate
Daylight gone tools in the shed
Spiritually well-fed
244
Half-asleep tree frog
Stuck on my kitchen window
Nonjudgmental friend
242
Wet chilly morning
Crawling out of warm bed
Chickens need to be fed
222
Watching dry waterfall
No running water just rocks
Bird rests his mind
219
Winter cold snap
Honeybell oranges soon ripe
Gastronomic delight
Note to readers: Poem refers to Florida winter gardening. Just a bit of cold gives citrus a kick of extra sweetness.

Loudmouthed old blue jay
Cold hungry this morning
Eyeballs empty seed tray
216
Midnight bandits
Raccoons having koi dinner
Sashimi by the pond
214
Spiders crawling on wall
Rain stopped bananas will grow tall
Rooster calls
210
Boots places on stoop
Morning garden duties done
Time to watch moss grow
202
Digging holes
Planting
Mulching
Watering
Coconut trees
Natural endorphin release
This is all I need

Heliconia
Queen of tropical garden
Hummingbird’s best friend
175
Hatching sea turtles
Marching towards the ocean
No baggage just instinct
164
Stingrays
In the sea
Gliding along effortlessly
Queen angelfish
Swimming gracefully
A grouper
Under a coral ledge
Observes me cautiously
Spiny lobsters
Look tasty
School of barracuda zoom back and forth aggressively
Just another early morning dive
In the Florida Keys
158
Spring blooming frenzy
Bromeliad flower spikes
Stand at attention
157
Hot weather is here
Daily afternoon rainstorms
Bamboo on steroids
156
Warm mid-morning
Iguana getting suntan
On backyard stepping-stone
149
Heavy Thunderstorm
Raccoons having a party
Inside of house roof
146
Endless Raking
Leaves fall daily on rock garden
Hermit learns patience
144
Courageous black bamboo
Shredded by hurricane
Storm gone new culms come
133
Catching butterflies
Warm spring morning sunny sky
She began to cry
126
Winter migration
Birds fly south for vacation
Paddling canoe
In Florida Everglades
Watching colors on display
122
Takayama cold
Stumble from karaoke bar
Snow is everywhere
120
Great Smoky Mountains
Old cabin by the river
Our nest for winter
100
Humble on my knees
Casually pulling weeds
My garden comforts me
92
Came to cut lettuce
Caterpillars having breakfast
Garden feeds all
81
Worked garden for years
Hurricane blew all away
Start over next day
78
Today in garden
A lizard killed butterfly
At least reason why
77
Colorful mangoes
Hanging from my backyard tree
Are delight to see
66
Transplanting Gingers
Brings about tremendous peace
To my mind and soul
64
Clinging to palm tree
The Iguana looks at me
Like I’m trespassing
62
Eating nuts in trees
Squirrels could care less about
Human luxuries
61
Jumping out of bed
I rush out to my garden
To pick morning crops
37
Walking in Garden
The Hermit enjoys the scent
of Angel Trumpets
