Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem. I’ve been looking everyday for a buttercup, one of the first flowers of spring. My friend found one already, but not me. I still only see the little worlds of moss and lichens and new sprouts. [Tiny Moss and Symbiosis]
Today, I found an interesting one: Steppe Mouse-Moss Coscinodon calyptratus.
It’s common in dryer areas like ours and is found east of the Rockies, but not on the western mountains, like the Cascades. I hope I’ve identified it correctly, but according to the pictures from my reverse image search, I think so.
I’m happy with these little worlds, but I’m excited for a buttercup. And so, a poem
Poetry
No Buttercups Yet
I’ve been looking for a buttercup,
Sheri Edwards
a first flower of the spring,
but all I can find are the mini-worlds
of moss, lichens, and other things.

I wonder, if I draw a line...
