have you considered
listening to the subtle voices
the ones in the wind
that are kin
to the floating of the clouds
that are kin
to those sprouting from the soil
listening to the subtle voices
the ones in the wind
that are kin
to the floating of the clouds
that are kin
to those sprouting from the soil
that are kin
to the swaying of the trees
that are kin
to those walking upon earth
that are kin
to whom fly in the sky
that are kin
to the mountains rising high
that are kin
to the swaying of the trees
that are kin
to those walking upon earth
that are kin
to whom fly in the sky
that are kin
to the mountains rising high
that are kin
to the heart in your chest
and all life
to each drop of mist
and all life
to each drop of mist
like a kiss
they are kin
they are kin
to the seasons as they dance
also kin
have you considered how listening to the subtle voices
would touch your heart
and mind
how it would move you as you walk
and you talk
have you considered
listening

Three beauties!
ReplyDeleteYou are great whit the poem and photos. The last one was amazing. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI have no clue what this lovely little bud is but I am in awe at the beauty of both your photos and words.
ReplyDeleteAs usual.
Magical and stunning! Is the first photo of horsetail? I've never seen one before. The last photo looks fit for a faerie queen - it resembles a jeweled crown! Theresa

Victoria

ReplyDeleteBut you are one of a kind to little ole' me.
Kin, all! What a joyful thought.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and SO true! The still small voice within, never lets us down. Lovely post Tammie!
ReplyDeleteI too thought the first two might be horsetails - we have a lot of them here, but I've never looked at them quite so closely. The last photo is stunning - nature's jewels!

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to start my morning, reading such words and looking at such pictures. Thank you.
ReplyDelete...beautiful poem, Tammie. I love how you wove the interconnectedness of all. (Really cool photos too...)
ReplyDeleteLovely photography, Tammie Lee... but it was your words that really got me this time! I cannot express as eloquently as you the effect of nature on my soul, but I do feel it. And I do listen :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos!! and words that make me think.. and yes, you are right! :) It's good to listen and you are the clever one! :)
ReplyDeleteNice weekend to you! :)

Oh the top one looks like an ice cream bar with nuts. Yum! The last one is amazing. it almost looks surreal! Great photographs, Tammie. Of course.
ReplyDeleteOoooooooohhhh! I received something fabulous and wonderful in the mail today!!! Thank you to my very special friend!!! :) I will write soon! Tsup!
thank you one and all, so fun that you are enjoying these up close intimate peaks of Spring! I certainly am!!
ReplyDeleteCes, you silly girl, an ice cream bar and yum. Well I have heard that horsetail is beneficial, but I doubt so yummy as an ice cream.
yea, mail arrived.
Such symmetry in the photos and the cadence "that are kin" connects all beautifully. (I have definitely considered listening, Tammie.)
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to decide what the dew is resting upon in that last photo? It is something pink and hairy but what!
You shoot some amazing macros - I get quite envious! :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Tammie. Its always a treat to visit you here. Happy Sunday! xxJ
ReplyDeleteYou listen with your eyes as well Dear Tammie! How exquisite! Lovely, Lovely! Delicate little dancing mushroom. Yes, to listen to all that is so kin to our hearts . . . I should love to hear the subtle sounds of the growth of the fungi and the melting of those tiny droplets. Thank you for sharing your astounding talent in images and words.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, especially the last one!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! As usually :)
ReplyDeleteTammie your raindrop photos take my breath away and this latest pink beauty is just outstanding! And the horsetail is as beautiful in its different way too.
ReplyDeletesuch absolutely touching and deeply wonderful pictures my dear!!! nature art at it's best!
ReplyDeletewarm hugs and a lovely week for your,
isabella
Superb details in these photos Tammie!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The last photo, I liked very much.
ReplyDeletethe last image is amazingly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful post in every way.
ReplyDeleteI like the first shot - it looks like some kind of funky ice cream cone and i want a bite.
ReplyDeleteDear One~ so very moving is this poem ... and the images, exquisite! xo
ReplyDeleteWhat exquisite shots and thoughts. The mist in that last shot is magical!
ReplyDeleteWow Tammie, fantastic as ever. Is the plant some kind of Horsetail?
ReplyDelete( I don't know the Latin name!)x
Excellence in image and words. I think the second image embodies your words best. Zen...Tao...
ReplyDeleteGreat macro shots. Love the detail and DOF (especially on the first photo) is great.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog link for Monday Macro over at Lisa's Chaos.
Sometimes I look at your close ups of nature and I swear they seem almost alien! Somehow you've managed to captured them from such bizarre angles that I can't imagine they really exist in our world.
ReplyDeleteAll beautiful as always, Tammie. oxx
I think that when you live someplace where spring comes so slowly, it becomes second nature to listen and watch for the smallest steps toward summer.
ReplyDeleteYour photos and words say that beautifully.
Those things that are kin are exactly why I like to take quiet walks.
ReplyDeleteA well-deserved POTW!
So beautiful! The words and the images...a kin!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your POTW
Hugs
SueAnn
Hi Tammie,great pictures.
ReplyDeleteI've finally found out how to take super macro on my Canon Powershot but haven't yet had a chance to take anything interesting.
I doubt whether I'll ever match your wonderful images though.
Lovely thoughts and images.
ReplyDeletecame over from Hilary's POTW. WOW! the first photo opened and i immediately thought of banana pudding with nilla wafers in it. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots and words!
