Glimpses of a Creek Walk

beneath the milky ice

runs cold water

rocks nestled down for winter

(which is nearly spring)

flowing

frozen

nature's art

nature's life

recent snow

offers glimpses never seen before

artful offerings

pink bark!

in the shadowy darkness...... light

platinum beauty

~

wishing you peace

calm

beauty 

from the inside out

Winter Outing

the winds blew

 creating waves on the lake

surface ice shattered into snow clad islands

in a similar way

artful ice formations came to life

it was a beautiful day at Lake McDonald

I was missing our colorful rocks

so beautiful when under ice and water

this day we were under storm warning

for clouds, snow and big winds

instead we were given a blue sky day

a perfect way to share my birthday with friends

Rocks and Ice

cold 

winter days and nights

creating beautiful sights for our delight

icy shores to explore

nature's gems 

galore

floating

mini icebergs

poetry beneath the surface
