Zinnia petals unfurl in little scrolls

Peonies burst open like crumbled balls of paper


Rescued barn owls live in the Austin Nature and Science Center like a sweet elderly couple


One could lose herself in the black, mirrored and abysmal eyes of a barred owl


There is a quiet, dry creek bed behind the raptor exhibit,
with maidenhair fern along a vacant water line


Calcite is found in many stalactites, stalagmites, and marine animal shells


Turtle spines are like ship hulls


My city within a park


Mission impossible


Sometimes we get siamese gerbera daisies at the shop, which no one likes but me


Big Mama - Daigremontiana, grows babies on the edges of her leaves, which
parachute down into the soil nearby and take root


A copious tulip


Bordered Patch, Chlosyne lacinia, loves coreopsis flowers.


Spatz, the resident bum at my work, loves napping all day in the beaded animal display
