[Ian] Gorgeous Run

we ran past these trees

in a Halloween 5K

it was breathtaking

[Ian] Office

open office space

for professional critters

in the local branch

[Ian] Nest

the bird is long gone

but her home is still intact

ready for next year?

Cocoon [Ian]

tell me mummy, do

plastic butterflies emerge

from bottle cocoons?

[Ian] Stop

show this sign some love

survivor of all weathers

now fadimg away

[Ian] Fall

chlorophyl gone

underneath the green

were magnificent yellows

waiting to emerge

Free

free for the taking

if you have pick and shovel

otherwise you’re stumped

[Ian] Sunlit Filter

sun setting through leaves

paints a golden glow over

delightful colours

Skeleton Climb

skeletons clamber

up a tree, fast as squirrels

afraid of the grave?

Deer

in a park at night

the residents stretched their legs

looking for a snack
