Sunrise light on a grove of tufa towers emerging from the water of Mono Lake with soft green and dusty-red wild grasses in the foreground, Canada geese in the shallow water with reflections of the rocky towers, and desert hills in the distance.

Thoughts on a year of water

Gleeful snowflakes melt
Dripping, chuckling, in the sun
Tumbling into spring.

At the cool blue sea
Visitors from far away
Celebrate new life.

Misty quiet lake
Circled by a band of gold
Waits for ice to form.

Evening clouds pile high
Sunrise shows what darkness hid
Sparkling new white snow.
