Like a Stone

silently
piled along the shore
cloaked in their finest ice
and a few snowflakes
stones in multitudes of colors
gold silver mauve lavender steel blues
and awesome grays
sitting amongst them I became as a rock
simply another stone
silently resting along the shore

Water Sky

 water

sky

light

reflection

earth beneath

heaven above

 stars they dance for our eyes at night

invisible as daylight glows

lake surface satin smooth

visual grace

a sensual show

igniting our hearts 

while soothing our souls

thank you for being my lovely friends in blogland

warmly,

Mountain Lion and Elk

headed into the forest and through the meadow on skis
day a blend of subtle grays greens and white
following the tracks of a lone coyote

a song of twitter tweet 

tiny birds

then a splash of movement and rich browns

a tribe of elk
they looked at me

I at them

they turned and trotted through the trees

continuing on
a fresh trail of a lone mountain lion 

I could not help but follow

a month or so ago
  I found a lion had walked in my tracks

now I follow the lion

somehow I feel an affinity to these quiet winter woods

the lion tracks were between 3.5 inches and 4"

Enraptured

imagine that life exists
simply and always exists
before and after we meet each spectacular moment
life is

yesterday a breath of air and moisture existed
at night they mingled with freezing temperatures

grew into a delight for our eyes

winter crystals

sun comes to shine
and they melt
but that life
lived before and now after they were born into crystals

imagine that life always is
~

this is where I met these crystalline beauties:

to my eyes

this mornings forest was cloaked in fuzzy frost 

yet up close

I was enraptured with what I found
