Snowflakes


teeny
tiny 
ice stars


snowflakes grace my wooden steps


their beauty is a spiritual thing
for my spirit is never the same


after being in their presence

 
piles 
and 
piles 
of snowflakes
equals:

SNOW!

Lovely holidays to one and all!

Snow is Reminding me


how fun it is to see who has walked by


it is a lovely canvas
for shadows


when snow drifts upon the tiny plants
it create dunes that are a joy to see


when it gets cold
and this week we are in the minuses at night


crystals grow
upon it's surface


exquisite in it's forms and light

last night's sunset
~

our snowy season has begun

Autumn Frost and Ice


the clouds have cleared
and under the watch of stars
and deeply cold temperatures
ice crystals are born


ephemeral beings
like wings of glass


ponds freeze over
exquisite expression for a brief time


bubbles held in ice
like a universe mirroring our sky


whose breath rises
from this wee cavern into the earth
they are tucked away for winter

Autumn Snow


this is our third snowfall
each time 1/2 inch plus


autumn colors dressed in snow
with a dash of sunlight
so lovely


the golden forest trees are tamaracks (Western Larch)
they still have some of their needles on
stunning mixed with snow


light snow like this
reminds me of cotton fields

and so our autumn goes
sun and snow mingle 
sometimes rain graces our days

the wood stove is going

Montana Autumn, Yesterday:


colors divine
air refined


light and shadows
hold an autumn hue


giant Tameracks
pillars aflame


waters reflect sky

brush a perfect camouflage


colors galore

Beauties of the Forest

beauties of the forest floor

mysterious gems that i adore


beckon to me to explore ever more

I find you cuddled in tiny moss

 wet and shiny to the eyes and touch

colors that shimmer in gentle light

texture and caps that inspire delight
~
an autumn flower
dressed in raindrops
there are not many flowers around
with our cold nights and not as many sunny days

Autumn's Woodland Treasures

raindrops dress leaves

wasps nest fall from trees

frost and sunlight create magical light

this large hawk landed in my tree

colors, a seasonal delight

daily
i find squirrels treasures in the trees, 
so much fun!

Mushrooms on Wood and under Rocks

taking form from the world as they grow

sprouting from driftwood

a heavy rock does not discourage

 so pretty in she shadowy light

a family of wood dwelling creatures
when i find wood dwellers
it is usually on a dead tree


such busy busy squirrels
~
happy October to one and all!
