Tiny Spheres, Mist and Light

a glorious summer walk today

found mist in a wee tiny web

looking 

feeling  

entering another realm

how many realms exist in our world

to shift our perception 

from the mundane

to the tiny

we are changed

lavender in hue

A Forest Walk

twas a dark and rainy day

lush and green as well

perfect for the fungi folk

to rise from the earth

becoming treasures

with snowmelt

and Spring rainfall

shooting stars cloaked in mostly white

treasures
