Montana, the big and the small


finding fairy slippers 
thrilling


drove into the forest


on a dirt road that was new to me
look at what i found:
 

tiny forest violets:


sometimes
it is about the colors and light:



coming in for a landing
Canada geese:


glimpses of the big and the small
forest floor and sky above
earth and water
animals and plants
spring in Montana

  22. Everything is so beautiful and soothing here and makes me feel the breathings of your mountain, Tammie. The Fairy slipper has an interesting, exotic face. I also like the forest violets, the Canada geese, and the landscape (6th image).
