Great Grey Owl for Halloween



walking through the woods
feeling the soft give to the forest floor
even though it snowed 4 inches last night


looked up to watch snow plopping from trees above


there you were
a great grey owl
looking into my eyes



a calm majestic being
sitting at the meadow's edge
listening

watching
waiting

so perfect for Halloween
and
Samhain

lovely celebrations to one and all

Colors of a Season


this autumn has filled it's days
with a brilliant show of colors


light and shadow dance


a delight for our eyes


gals getting their gobble on:


Tamaracks don their golds


ankles of trees
cloaked in leaves


the storm could not veil all the sun's light


forest walks delight
wee fungi kin


but today
is another facet of autumn:

Frosty Beauties


morning light
reveals
our mundane world 
overflows with magical life


frost it grows
in endless expression


texture color
light
ice that grows over night
 temporal magnificence


my heart will never be the same


 your presence has changed me

An Autumn Blessing


may your path be bright and clear


may your heart always hear
the singing of the leaves
dancing of the trees
whispers of the wind
telling who are kin
may peace also abound
joy and laughter be your friend
let all journeys fill your life with beauty love and light

The Voices of the Day


the voices of the day
call to me
call to me
first the rivers song
rolling over rocks
whispers to my ear


the more i listen
the more i hear


the swell of the breeze
mingling with the trees
and their dry leaves
music in the air


autumn grass quite dry
bending in the breeze
crisp sounds they do make


the more i listen 
the more i hear

I went camping up the North Fork, Polebridge area last week
Autumn is entirely beautiful this year...

Frostly Morning


woke to 18F
morning light soft and bright


snow berries and leaves dressed in crystalline ice

forest strawberries still green
others cloaked in pinks salmon and dusty rose


autumns colors beauty be


was on my way to yoga.....
never made it there
for beauty everywhere
stopped me in my tracks


adore
is a light word
for the feelings i have in the midst of ice crystals
and their mystical light

This Morning ~


last night
rain fell, on and on
our dusty roads no longer dusty

today's air
crisp clean invigorating


I am reminded of the first time I visited Montana
it was this time of year
I fell in love 


we woke to our first snow of the season
mountains cloaked in white

light seems so pure


color that makes one purrrrrr


the flight of seeds


a carnival of movement


promises of life to come

colors
gone to seed
romance of future life
