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

Stunning spring-time images Tammie! It's so exciting to see nature regenerate itself after winter!
ReplyDeleteLove your photos. I really enjoy all your spirit walk images. And yes, spring is bursting.
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing things I've never seen before.
ReplyDeleteDon't you love the tiny discoveries in the wild?
(It shows.)
Nice, Tammie.
Beautiful photos, Tammie! Now I'm going to have to seek out a yellow violet, and I know just where!
ReplyDeleteThese macros are wonderful, Tammie! They're a glimpse at a tiny world of fruition. The top of pine is my very favorite. I'm in AZ - it's also springtime in the desert!
ReplyDeleteHi Tammie Lee,
ReplyDeleteThanks for looking in on my blog, enjoy all that the spring has to offer there! :-)
Spring is over here, the seasons are not sharply defined in the Middle east, they just flow into each other.
ReplyDeleteI loved your photos again, love them still. I will try to use the "big" color in a painting today, it can never come out as perfect as nature is painting it, but, oh well, I'll try... :-)
Greetings Tammie, go on looking for spring wonders every day now!
Spring Rings With The Marriage of Magic and Miracles.
ReplyDeleteAt this time of year, it's a pleasure to see what you show us your photos. It is when we really see the beauty of Nature.
ReplyDeleteTomás.
Having just looked at all your posts back to December I can see how amazing it must be to greet Spring in your part of the world.
ReplyDeleteYour snow and ice photographs capture such a beautiful world. To find butterflies, buds and flowers with such bright colours and the contrast of white snow covered world must fill you with such wonder.
Our worlds are so different, it is always so lovely to see beauty through your eyes. Happy spring to you too. X
so many wonderful images... spring is definitely bursting out. i've seen so many violets out. i have a bunch growing next to my golden raintree. i've also seen another flower i haven't been able to identify yet. hope all is well. have a great day~
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful photo images of the subtle loveliness in nature truly lifts me soul. My eyesight isn't what it once was so I love seeing nature in macro of the wonderful tiny details in nature . Simply amazing and so lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour camera has captured the beauty of the first stirrings of Spring very well. Thanks for including us on your walk.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first read the title of your post, I misread it as "Spirit Walk , Today", but I am sure it was one for you! What fabulous colours and mysteries are there if we just look!
ReplyDeleteMy students and I call the orange fungi, gnome eggs. We were horrified to return to the spot last fall only to discover someone had crushed them. My one student gave another heck for wrecking nature and asked, "Why do you hate nature so much?"
Thank you for taking me on your spring spirit walk!
There is so much beauty in that subtle bursting!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors! Love the moss growing and the top of the pine tree branch! Cool!

ReplyDeleteThe top of a young pine tree? Of course, that I was wondering! Rainy moss? What a perfection! New little miracles in this post - thank you for the pleasure of seeing them, Tammie! The red bud is my favourite!
ReplyDeleteFull of life, energy and curiosity! Really ready to burst...:)

Happy Spring to you Tammie, now that it is with you. They are all lovely photos of course, but my very favourite is the rainy moss with all its beautiful warm oranges.
