Snowflakes

teeny

tiny 

ice stars

snowflakes grace my wooden steps

their beauty is a spiritual thing

for my spirit is never the same

after being in their presence

 

piles 

and 

piles 

of snowflakes

equals:

SNOW!

Lovely holidays to one and all!

Snow is Reminding me

how fun it is to see who has walked by

it is a lovely canvas

for shadows

when snow drifts upon the tiny plants

it create dunes that are a joy to see

when it gets cold

and this week we are in the minuses at night

crystals grow

upon it's surface

exquisite in it's forms and light

last night's sunset

~

our snowy season has begun

Autumn Frost and Ice

the clouds have cleared

and under the watch of stars

and deeply cold temperatures

ice crystals are born

ephemeral beings

like wings of glass

ponds freeze over

exquisite expression for a brief time

bubbles held in ice

like a universe mirroring our sky

whose breath rises

from this wee cavern into the earth

they are tucked away for winter

Autumn Snow

this is our third snowfall

each time 1/2 inch plus

autumn colors dressed in snow

with a dash of sunlight

so lovely

the golden forest trees are tamaracks (Western Larch)

they still have some of their needles on

stunning mixed with snow

light snow like this

reminds me of cotton fields

and so our autumn goes

sun and snow mingle 

sometimes rain graces our days

the wood stove is going

Montana Autumn, Yesterday:

colors divine

air refined

light and shadows

hold an autumn hue

giant Tameracks

pillars aflame

waters reflect sky

brush a perfect camouflage

colors galore

Beauties of the Forest

beauties of the forest floor

mysterious gems that i adore

beckon to me to explore ever more

I find you cuddled in tiny moss

 wet and shiny to the eyes and touch

colors that shimmer in gentle light

texture and caps that inspire delight

~

an autumn flower

dressed in raindrops

there are not many flowers around
with our cold nights and not as many sunny days

Autumn's Woodland Treasures

raindrops dress leaves

wasps nest fall from trees

frost and sunlight create magical light

this large hawk landed in my tree

colors, a seasonal delight

daily

i find squirrels treasures in the trees, 

so much fun!

Mushrooms on Wood and under Rocks

taking form from the world as they grow

sprouting from driftwood

a heavy rock does not discourage

 so pretty in she shadowy light

a family of wood dwelling creatures

when i find wood dwellers

it is usually on a dead tree

such busy busy squirrels

~
happy October to one and all!
