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
