Summer is Fruiting

on a gentle breeze

i heard the mountains call to me

in the forest i found berries 

ripe as can be

raspberries 

and 

huckleberries

huckleberries are a treasured food in Montana!

i dinned next to this river

listening to it's song

enjoying the stir of the air that it brought to life

mountain ash offering berries for the birds

splashes of color

for our eyes

savoring each blossom

treasuring the tiny realm

butterflies basked in the sun

enjoying rain after a hot summer

~

lovely late summer days to you

Perfect Camouglage

soft summer light

tiny 

very tiny flowers

nearly hidden 

yet right in view

the lovely butterfly

dinning

Kissed by a Butterfly

walking in the woods today

caressed by a warm breeze

serenaded by Sandhill cranes

quacking ducks

 and the little birds

a tiny butterfly 

landed on my shoulder

then kissed my forehead

a feeling of being blessed permeated my spirit

the mastery of a butterflies kiss

 thaws the remnants of winter

presenting spring
