Into the Enchanted Forest


into the enchanted forest
where bears call home

(old and new claw marks):
 

deer do roam
 

 clear waters flow
 and 
flowers grow


hummingbirds build nests of spider webs and lichen


and 
moths nap on leaves


summer in Montana

  5. So magical! The bear marks bring shivers to my blood - that feral old language, like wild poetry; I wonder what it says.

  10. You live in such a beautiful part of the world. It looks so unspoilt and pristine. It always surprises me that humming birds migrate up there. I always think of them as tropical residents!

      Yes, humming birds are a treat and they do leave in late summer.

  17. Dear Tammie - Enchanted in the lush green, the whole forest is magically alive. This post made me restore a peaceful, happy state of mind. I especially like the photo of a deer, which looks like from a fairy tale.

  19. Tammie Lee, your photos always make my heart sing. I am able to comment today, but sometimes I can't, so I'll take advantage of it haha. The photo of the bear claw marks is amazing. If you ever see the hummingbird around the nests, please let me know. They are my beloved bird. Summer is lovely in Montana.
