Glimpses of Summer

walking in the forest

(i had never seen a delphinium in the above colors)

tiny, unripe huckleberry

and so it begins.....

fruit

large beaver enjoys a swim

 

who will this spiral become?

 

rains dress our world in gems and light

Summer Solstice 2013

Summer Solstice beauty thrills

walking forest paths so lush

never knowing who is far or near

tiny glimpses 

charm my eyes

flowers one with butterflies

flowers and green cloak the earth

mother's hide their tiny fawns

blooms celebrate the sun's rays

a new season dawns

Many Glacier, Montana

last days of Spring

found me wandering 

the Eastern side of Montana's Rocky Mountains

days a mix of sun and clouds

rain and wind

cold shadows

hot sun

light dancing amongst rolling waters

waterfalls of snow melt

Rocky mountains dress in spring green

lakes beckon us to wander

Beargrass

how many flowers on one stalk

enough to make my heart sing

blossoms open

from bottom to top

in multitudes

they light up the woods

~

beargrass, not actually a grass but is in the lily family, 

tends to bloom once every 5-7 years

so when it blooms

we love it!

Artwalk, Whitefish Montana

my photos are not that clear

maybe even

hard to see what you are looking at

but that is a good thing

that means that i was far enough away...

~

i was in the forest cutting wood with my friend

looking across the meadow

i noticed a dark form

i thought:

i will watch to see if it moves

AND

move it did

right up this tree!

it was a bear

such a grand sight to see

then with binoculars

we could see she had two tiny cubs up that tree

one came down to nurse

they sat on branches

feet dangling

Mamma above

cub on lower branch, can you see them?

here is how high up the tree they were:

such a Wonder-Full experience
