A Mountain Drive

winding along

a mountain road

where water does flow

and flowers do grow

(tiny Spotted Saxifrage) 

looking over the edge

at the bushland 

a multitude of winding creeks and a beaver home

pillow of pollen

waterfalls arriving from the inner realm

through a crack in a mountain 

a mossy island

natures grace

colorful pebbles,

eye candy

delighted at each bend of the road

Buck in Velvet

he rose 

to leap over bushes

prancing 

leaving his scent 

looking in all directions

wearing his antlers of
velvet

and 

shooting stars:

Honoring Wildflowers & a Bear

 these are tiny wee flowers

yes two words for small to emphasize 

named:

Russethair Saxifrage

amongst other names

 

so tiny that i didn't notice their spots of color

until i see them larger on my computer

 

being enchanted in their presence

i nearly did an entire post on them

the enchanting pipissewa, above

 (asters)

such a lovely time of year

 

we were blessed

with the spotting of a black bear rooting around

in the distance

 

flowers in their best attire
