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

First Hike of the Season

5.5 miles

up up up

rewarded with this view

(I am still sore, two days later)

the path varied

though mostly walking under the heat of the sun

there was some bits of forest

treasures along the way

(the colors of this little butterfly are so beautiful)
( I believe it is a puddling butterfly, little, do you know what it is called?)
 

the meeting of a river and creek

rest

breath

bath in gentle light

a glimpse

up close

of catkins

spring's beauty

blue sky

white clouds

and 

new life abounds

promise of summer berries 

(huckleberries)

a beautiful day in the mountains

Happy Equinox to You

as we cross the threshold of a new season

we have glimpses of summer and autumn both

 change and mysteries tend to be tangible at this time

the spots on fawns

are fading

I found a moth's cocoon

will it survive being buried under snow all winter

a mix of leaves cuddle on the pond

sunsets 

after rain

offer their own special drama

here and there 

a mushroom can be found

Happy New Season to you!

Fabric of Life

rose

grays

light minty green

wings like i have never seen

patterns 

colors

endless array

fabric of life 

is on display

Autumn's

dancing waters

the second photo may have had you wondering?

it is a close up of this:

may you walk in beauty

Winged Journey

life expressed in

written words
thoughts frozen in time
fresh
for the person reading it
historical
for the person who wrote it
each writing
each reading
metamorphosis
a butterfly
fluttering
alighting on one flower
then the next
thoughts
feelings
actions
come and go
feeling now
thought now
action now
is ours

flit
flutter
fly freely
