1
   rustling leaves -
under the steps,
   a bushy mouse!

2
   fleet of puffy clouds
floating on a sea of haze.
   bright sun

3
   worn paint
flakes off an ancient barn.
   brick silo.

4
   a dead tree
reaches from the river.
   go south

5
   amid empty fields
a tree-covered hill.
   church steeple

6
   a falcon
soars over the road.
   "keep movin on"

7
   ringing a farmhouse
poplars cast long shadows -
   afternoon sun

8
   tall grass
fans a dirt road.
   clouds moving in.

9
   half-moon shines
through thin hazy clouds.
   no stars tonight
The local amateur astronomy club had a social out at our dark-sky location in the country yesterday evening. We were hoping for clear skies so we could do a bit of observing but ended up with too many clouds. It was still a good time and, aside from some rude drivers, the trip there and back was pleasant as well.
