Spring Walk, Today

walking through the woods

my first wildflowers of the year

so tiny, i almost missed them

tiny fungi, big color

(ascomycetes, perhaps)

the top of a young pine tree

(if you were wondering)

last nights raindrops adorn moss

first and only violet that i saw

i did not eat this one

 

so tiny, i nearly did not see this family of five

(perhaps a Mycena)

buds

illumined in sunlight

~

Spring is beginning to burst

still a subtle thing

but if you look real closely

it is bursting

Spring Ice

the sun came out

inspired a walkabout

this creek was found

cloaked in bijou of ice

and

sang a song

of bubbles and flowing waters

dressed in soft light

Spring Walk with Lucy

our eyes were on the ground a lot

me on rocks

Lucy and I on tracks

of wolf

and

elk

also deer

we saw our first butterflies of the year

such beauties all

and every pond of water

found Lucy wading through

and every pile of snow

a place to rest as well

tiny details to behold

looks like plants within a rock

 

a spring walk

on a beautiful day
