Yum yum!

busy busy busy

up and down the trees

chewing gnawing sawing

a meal fit for a queen

I just love watching it's little hands

and the bits flying as it spits the non-edible part out

Grizzly

So Sorry that I couldn't get closer for Better Photos!

this bear found food at a neighbors 

and did not want to leave

taking walks.....

is full of awareness!

this grizzly was in the shade of the trees

i lightened the photos so you could see it's features better

our world is a lush dark green now

still i wanted to show you who we share the forest with

The Rookery

hot summer day beckoned
i headed to the forest in search of a rookery a friend told me about
 
from the tree tops

wonderful strange sounds filled the air

the calls of Sand Hill Cranes

*Later: not Sand Hill Cranes, they are Blue Herons*

do you see the chicks head (high center)

i know it is hard to see:

at the base of three different trees i found eggs from the chicks in shades of light blue

the warm day inspired a sweet heavy scent of flowers 

 inside these little bells

was quite a surprise:

and fruit to fill the air

I wandered on

Good Creek:

 old homesteads:

at the above spot.... 

a large crashing sound of a spooked animal filled the air

i think we scared one another

most likely moose or bear

and beautifully colored mushrooms

 

I hope you enjoyed your wander with me. 

I sure did.

thank you Elaine

Two Poppies

out in the meadow

near a tree stump

towards the beginning of summer

poppies appear

two lovely poppies dancing in the breeze

bathing in sunlight

near the forest trees

such beauty
