When the Sun Comes Out

wild beauty beckons to our deep perceptions

our contemplative mind

our adventurous soul

it begs to be walked into

to share it's tales

to be your companion

Tiny Realm

stepping into the tiny world

of green
of light
of spheres that hold tight
to blades of moss
that thrive in spring

kneeling
to immerse in the tiny world
to see that there is more
than our obvious realm
to let
sunlight held in melted snowflakes
court my heart

for the tiny realm
is a mystical province
with the ability
to enchant us into our sacred

Scutellinia scutellata

finding new

tiny fungi

forest treasures

to my eyes

these are trimmed with petite lashes

golden cups

for us to spy

~

last autumn I found tiny cups very similar and posted them 

here and here

only those were red..... 

research hints that they are: Scutellinia scutellata

aka: eyelash fungi

Crystalline Colonies

night temperatures drop
moisture in the earth
rises like a phoenix
in the form
of
thin delicate
lacy ice
geometric columns inches in height
breathe gently
amongst this fragile beauty

these were taken two days ago

our lovely Spring

Sign of Spring

I wouldn't call you pretty
I'd call you pretty trippy
first fungi creature
in Spring woods

snow is melting slowly
barely earth showing
yet here you are growing
the wondrous
somewhat poisonous
false morel
~

this is my spring:

 

so

you can imagine my delight when I saw this mushroom growing!

Spring unfolds slowly in NW Montana
