When the Sun Comes Out


wild beauty beckons to our deep perceptions
our contemplative mind
our adventurous soul
it begs to be walked into
to share it's tales
to be your companion

Tiny Realm



stepping into the tiny world
of green
of light
of spheres that hold tight
to blades of moss
that thrive in spring



kneeling
to immerse in the tiny world
to see that there is more
than our obvious realm
to let
sunlight held in melted snowflakes
court my heart




for the tiny realm
is a mystical province
with the ability
to enchant us into our sacred

Scutellinia scutellata




finding new
tiny fungi
forest treasures
to my eyes
these are trimmed with petite lashes
golden cups
for us to spy
~



last autumn I found tiny cups very similar and posted them 

only those were red..... 
research hints that they are: Scutellinia scutellata
aka: eyelash fungi

Crystalline Colonies


night temperatures drop
moisture in the earth
rises like a phoenix
in the form
of
thin delicate
lacy ice
geometric columns inches in height
breathe gently
amongst this fragile beauty
~




these were taken two days ago
our lovely Spring

Sign of Spring



I wouldn't call you pretty
I'd call you pretty trippy
first fungi creature
in Spring woods

snow is melting slowly
barely earth showing
yet here you are growing
the wondrous
somewhat poisonous
false morel
~


this is my spring:


so
you can imagine my delight when I saw this mushroom growing!
Spring unfolds slowly in NW Montana
