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
