Late Afternoon Stroll

By Vickilane

Come along. . .
Willa's waiting . . .
The Italian Arum seed heads are ripening . . . 
The sweet smell of milkweed fills the air . . .
Too early for this . . .
The path into the woods . . .
Sunlight through the leaves . . .
Hmm . . . who was this?
The graceful curve of a pokeweed bloom . . .  Cloud shadows on the mountains . . . 
And a last kiss of the sun, glistening on ferns.
