Spring Flowers


 in the wild places of NW Montana

spring is still a mix of dead plant debris from last autumn
and

tiny signs of new growth


wandering along a river path

i found a bit of color

you know it had me on my knees
 
capturing it's portrait 
it's scent like an elixer
had me delighted

~




what flower is this?
it looks very much like a lilac
and yet the petals seemed more fragile thin
i wonder if there is a wild variety?

Blues and Puffy White


it was the sort of day
that made ones heart jump for joy
and bow in honor
of the majesty of our planet

Kissed by a Butterfly


walking in the woods today
caressed by a warm breeze
serenaded by Sandhill cranes
quacking ducks
 and the little birds

a tiny butterfly 
landed on my shoulder
then kissed my forehead
a feeling of being blessed permeated my spirit


the mastery of a butterflies kiss
 thaws the remnants of winter
presenting spring

Like a Chandelier


 stepping onto a lakeshore beach
steeped in morning shade
dappled in morning light
song of pouring creek
spring bush laden with newborn buds
shinning
lit up
like a crystal chandelier
i felt as though i stepped into mystical magical realm
yes
that would be planet earth
