wandering the woods
tis the last day of spring
her beauty
is abundant
treasures fill my eyes
music as the trees sway
and the birds sing and sing
ummm
my first wild strawberries of the year
they are so tiny

The wild strawberries and coral orchid look like miniature sculptures: how beautiful. While you lean into summer, we are leaning into (nay, being swallowed up by) the inferno. It's good to feel the cool from your photographs themselves.
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful photos! So clear and colorful! I envy you your spring and summer!

ReplyDeleteI just love the wee strawberries. I used to pick them when I was young, eat their little bodies when the sun was still humming in their flesh.
ReplyDeleteSo colorful and beautiful !! This is a fantastic shot and i am really amazed the way they are captured..Great..Thanks for commenting on my blog too..
ReplyDeleteYour woods look delightful. Orchids are a favourite of mine.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely macro of the wild and hairy strwaberries. You have them already, lucky you.

ReplyDeletefarewell, indeed. :)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful way to welcome summer on its solstice. Thanks you.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely poetry calling us into Summer...
ReplyDeleteWe have been enjoying little walks picking teeny wild strawberries, one of the gifts nature has left along her way.
Beautiful words, gorgeous photos. I took some wild strawberry photos yesterday too, but not as wonderful as yours.
ReplyDeleteI love the other flowers you captured - I have never seen most of them. How rare and exquisite to be given a glimpse into Mother Nature's bouquet.
A lovely farewell to spring. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe strwberries are wonderful, so tender-looking. And a wonderful eye to see the creatures on the orchid.
ReplyDeleteThose coral orchids are amazing, and early summer strawberries....yummmm!
ReplyDeleteLeaning into summer is exactly what it feels like, buoyed by the heavy warm air, the thick scent of honeysuckle, freshly mown grass, morning coffee. I'm ready, more than ready. Looking forward to following your summer journeys.
Spectacular, Tammie! The orchids are special on their own, but with that aphid family - keen eyes you have! I really enjoyed your Assimilation post, too. Just lovely.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of wild strawberries in my back yard,... but have never seen any of those beautiful flowers!
ReplyDeletelovely photos of a new breath of the season...and it has rained all night, so these new little creations will be popping up prolifically soon...and you will be out there discovering their treasures!!
ReplyDeletelove you my friend~
Mmm! The strawberry picture is my favourite :)
