Presenting the Calypso Orchid


wandering through the forest
cloaked in shades of green
a glimpse of violet and gold
the tiny fairy slipper


it is always a joy to see them
like magic sprinkled here and there


these are all the same orchids
photographed in morning sun, sunset, wind blew them apart,
wind blew them together:


kissing 
heart shaped
orchids
~
i hope you enjoyed 
the lovely calypso orchid

Intimate and Vast Montana


an intimate view
teeny tiny little kinnikinnick flowers
like fairy lanterns scattered amongst the forest floor


a vast Montana view


wild apple blossoms grace our trees


at their crowns
trees grow


some nights still freeze
bird bath water

The More You Look


the  more you look


the more you see


when you slow down


and take a peak


one's heart may even


skip a beat

Perfect Life




i found this budding beauty
rising from a mound of moss
at the base of an abundant waterfall

i see tender attention
loving protection
reminiscent  of two lovers, caring friends
or mother and child

i have no idea what plant it is
i see new life
and 
beauty

Happy Mother's Day

Feathers Flowers & Fur


I sat near this nest for a while
watching the female await his (Osprey) return


landing had to be just right


just a fly by


busy little squirrel
has been digging up last autumns stores of small pine cones 
and eating non-stop


I had the great pleasure of Canada Geese and goslings
visit my ponds! 

lovely and tiny spring beauty
also known as fairy spuds, but it would be a shame to dig them up for the tiny fairy sized spud

~
Spring is truly coming to life!
