Fairy Slipper Day ~ Calypso Orchid


be still my heart


how can anyone, like me
have a favorite flower?


flowers are sweet charming beings
each and every one

hiking through the woods today
I found more tiny wild fairy slipper orchids 
than i have ever seen in one walk!

they had me on my knees over and over
taking in their beauty
blending with their presence
finding joy in life

Meeting Places


edges
horizons
shorelines
of life
sometimes it is the places
places between here and there
earth and air
water and earth
tree and land
cloud and sky
you and me
where we meet
a place of spirit and movement
stillness and contrast
color and texture
light and shadow
to be present in these meeting places
is to hold hands with the holy

Many Glacier, Montana


it was a windy day
swept all the dust away
air and light
vibrant


shooting into the sun is not favorable
still i thought to share this wild beauty with you:


this land begs to be walked into
like a beautiful invitation

Went Camping ~


winds ferocious breath
stirred the clouds dramatic
sunset uplifting

looking east:

looking west:

color ripening:

Mystique of the Pasque Flower


journeyed east of the Rocky Mountains


to find your lovely blooms


found you thriving in a WINDY terrain


dancing wildly with the land


thank you for your beauty

New Life


life
springing into growth
full of future promises
beauty in the tiny details
like magical occurances
endlessly
~


flowers so small
my eyes can barely tell what i am looking at

but i do know it is beauty



Lovely day to you~
