into the enchanted forest
where bears call home
(old and new claw marks):
deer do roam
clear waters flow
and
flowers grow
hummingbirds build nests of spider webs and lichen
and
moths nap on leaves
summer in Montana

Enchanted indeed. I'm sure there is a fairy or two living in that forest as well!
ReplyDeleteI imagine that you are right Jeanie!
DeleteIt is an enchanted forest indeed. Aren’t they all?
ReplyDeleteYes, they all are enchanted. ;-)
DeleteThe deer shot is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteThank you for enjoying the deer William.
DeleteI love love a summer forest!!!
ReplyDeleteI can understand why you do.
DeleteSo magical! The bear marks bring shivers to my blood - that feral old language, like wild poetry; I wonder what it says.
ReplyDeleteYes those bear marks are something to consider. I like your perception: that feral old language, like wild poetry.

You live in such a beautiful part of the world. It looks so unspoilt and pristine. It always surprises me that humming birds migrate up there. I always think of them as tropical residents!
ReplyDeleteI think deep sincere winters keep the world fresh and pristine.
DeleteYes, humming birds are a treat and they do leave in late summer.
Such lovely fresh, green shots which make me feel so beautifully cool in the heat!I bet the sound of that flowing water over the pebbles is just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYes, the sound of flowing water is quite enjoyable. I hope your heat wave has left you.
DeleteI used to go to Montana in the summer, I like very much this country.
ReplyDeleteHave a good one, Tammie !

Yes, I remember you liking this area. There is much to like if you like open spaces and the wild world.
DeleteVery nice
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSo green and peaceful. Did you stand in the river, I would have.
ReplyDeleteI did not stand in the river, it was a cool day, even rain earlier, gray the sun was hiding. But I have done so since ;-)
Deletetu te promènes seule et en silence pour découvrir la 'bête' :))) beau!
ReplyDeleteYes, often that is true. This time I was with a friend.
DeleteI can feel the peace! Lovely.
ReplyDeleteLovely response. Thank you.
DeleteDear Tammie - Enchanted in the lush green, the whole forest is magically alive. This post made me restore a peaceful, happy state of mind. I especially like the photo of a deer, which looks like from a fairy tale.
ReplyDeleteYoko
enchanted indeed! what lovely photos Tammie, I like the deer one most of all.
ReplyDeleteHope your summer is off to a great start and not too hot where you are.
We are hoping for rain here on Vancouver Island, it's been VERY dry!!!
Tammie Lee, your photos always make my heart sing. I am able to comment today, but sometimes I can't, so I'll take advantage of it haha. The photo of the bear claw marks is amazing. If you ever see the hummingbird around the nests, please let me know. They are my beloved bird. Summer is lovely in Montana.

ReplyDeleteI love bear claw marks on aspens. They make me smile every time I see them!
