Presenting the Calypso Orchid

wandering through the forest

cloaked in shades of green

a glimpse of violet and gold

the tiny fairy slipper

it is always a joy to see them

like magic sprinkled here and there

these are all the same orchids

photographed in morning sun, sunset, wind blew them apart,

wind blew them together:

kissing 

heart shaped

orchids

~

i hope you enjoyed 

the lovely calypso orchid

Intimate and Vast Montana

an intimate view

teeny tiny little kinnikinnick flowers

like fairy lanterns scattered amongst the forest floor

a vast Montana view

wild apple blossoms grace our trees

at their crowns

trees grow

some nights still freeze

bird bath water

The More You Look

the  more you look

the more you see

when you slow down

and take a peak

one's heart may even

skip a beat

Perfect Life

i found this budding beauty
rising from a mound of moss
at the base of an abundant waterfall

i see tender attention
loving protection
reminiscent  of two lovers, caring friends
or mother and child

i have no idea what plant it is
i see new life
and 

beauty

Happy Mother's Day

Feathers Flowers & Fur

I sat near this nest for a while

watching the female await his (Osprey) return

landing had to be just right

just a fly by

busy little squirrel

has been digging up last autumns stores of small pine cones 

and eating non-stop

I had the great pleasure of Canada Geese and goslings

visit my ponds! 

lovely and tiny spring beauty

also known as fairy spuds, but it would be a shame to dig them up for the tiny fairy sized spud

~

Spring is truly coming to life!
