A Mountain Drive


winding along
a mountain road


where water does flow


and flowers do grow
(tiny Spotted Saxifrage) 


looking over the edge
at the bushland 
a multitude of winding creeks and a beaver home


pillow of pollen


waterfalls arriving from the inner realm
through a crack in a mountain 


a mossy island
natures grace


colorful pebbles,
eye candy



delighted at each bend of the road

Buck in Velvet


he rose 
to leap over bushes


prancing 
leaving his scent 


looking in all directions


wearing his antlers of
velvet

and 
shooting stars:

Honoring Wildflowers & a Bear


 these are tiny wee flowers
yes two words for small to emphasize 


named:
Russethair Saxifrage
amongst other names
 

so tiny that i didn't notice their spots of color
until i see them larger on my computer
 

being enchanted in their presence
i nearly did an entire post on them


the enchanting pipissewa, above

 (asters)

such a lovely time of year
 

we were blessed
with the spotting of a black bear rooting around
in the distance
 

flowers in their best attire
