Prologue: a dawning pleasure
Dawn mother
Spring: Palm Beach, Florida. Dawn among the palms
Just a little rain
A calamity of cranes
The lost night sky
Forget bats
Some tales we tell
Venus observed
In the spirit of Monet
Festivals of the dawn
Troubadours
Missive
Red dawns and fields of green
Time races Dawn's many faces
Summer: Ithaca, New York. Dangerous dawn
In the spirit of Sei Shōnagon
Dawn in the garden of cosmic reflection
Matins with the neighbors (two-legged and four)
The solstice bird
In the spirit of Hokusai
On the ledge of the morning
Dew drop in
Where it's summer
Woodpecker dawn
Glory days
Autumn.The murmuring of innumerable bees
Honeycombing
An angle on Archimedes
A little Sabbath with the sun
Autumn dawn
False dawn
Nothing doing
In the vase of the universe
Clever as clever
Field guides
Winter. Where it's winter
Water, water everywhere
Crystals
One bad rooster spoils the barnyard
After hours
The silence that is not there and the silence that is
Time well spent.
