late autumn—
the withered bean plants
cling to their poles
max
wind storm—
the scarecrow looses his hat
betty
couple of magpies
collecting twigs and branches
to make a nest
max
flying tree to tree
the squirrel . . .
hidden acorns
betty
the dog's passion—
chasing a stick
max
brought together
with mud and fallen leaves . . .
the beaver's dam
betty
