Orange County Nature Writing

A rattlesnake moves from grass / To grass across the path I am walking / Back to the head of the trail . . .

Crystal Cove State Park, Moro Canyon / Toyon berries glow red in the sun, / Coyote Bush seed ready to fly away . . .

The March after fire /whole hillsides blaze orange again . . .

Twenty months of sun days—/ the succulent battery loses/ its green charge . . .

Species-wise, she was petite. /They called her the Little Black Bear. / Mated to Old White Face / by necessity: they were . . .
