Celebrating Mama's and Their Cubs ~

Look Up, Way Up High! 

look up
way up high
in the branches
that mingle with sky
perhaps you'll spy
a mama bear
denning
with her cubs
up there

mama mama
where you going?
we want to come
and play down there!

Soon they will
descend that tall tall tree
and roam the earth with you and me
~

 I regret not having taken ONE photo of just how VERY tall this tree is!

I am guessing they are denning 50 Feet above the earth. 

I did indeed see the mama bear crawl out of the hole and climb

down the tree and wander about.

As you can see one of the cubs attempted following the mama down

before scurrying back into their den. I am guessing

that any day they will be brave enough to make the journey

to the earth below.

Clouds of Spring

within each day
winter to spring
winter to spring
then
spring to winter
these two dance
back and forth
twirling
curtsy and bow
they flit and fly about one another
a squall of snow flurries
ice and melt
piles of hail that pummel and pelt
sun that shines
clouds wild masterpieces
hints of warmth most days
before long Spring

shall reign

Glacier National Park

entering the wilds
of your land
fingers of your presence reach out
and touch me
fingers like sunlight
pouring through a forest of trees
surround and enter my being
like a fearless lover
wanting to know the flesh of my heart
the flesh of my spirit
the flesh of my soul
opening to your caress
union

Paths Lined with Flowers

It's raining it's pouring
Summer is dressed in glory
thick coat of green
jewels made of rain
ornate with budding trees
flowers and mushrooms
tell her story
~

For over a week we have experienced a mix of sun and rain daily. The lush bounty of Summer green and flowers continues to paint our world. Wishing you all a wonderful Summer~

Superior Scribbler Award

Once upon a time (LAST February) from the far off land of Oslo came a gift that touched my heart sweetly and deeply. The Superior Scribbler Award was gifted by Son from Son of Incogneato's blog. As I read his words as to why he gave it to me, gentle tears rolled down my cheeks. I began to sense that my heart felt dream of uplifting the human spirit through the beauty of nature and my writings was actually manifesting.


I'd like to introduce: mister Son. When I stumbled upon his blog I was enchanted as I wandered through post after post. His art overflows with the mystery and magic of life, and summons imagination to the surface. I encourage you to gift yourself with a visit to his blog: Son of Incogneato! (I wish I had the ability to be as humorous about this as Son was in his award post!
He is also a wonderful writer, you will have to search deep to find his writings.

Now this award has some tasks I must attempt to honor:
* Each Superior Scribbler must in turn pass The Award on to 5 most-deserving Bloggy friends.
* Each Superior Scribbler must link to the author & the name of the blog from whom he/she received the award.
* Each Superior Scribbler must display The Award on his/her blog, and link to This Post, which explains The Award.
* Each Blogger who wins The Superior Scribbler Award must visit [the above Scholastic Scribe] post and add his/her name to the Mr. Linky List. That way, we’ll be able to keep up-to-date on everyone who receives This Prestigious Honor!
* Each Superior Scribbler must post these rules on his/her blog.

It is with great appreciation that I pass this award on to some bloggy friends whose writing I enjoy very much and absolutely as writers they each deserve this award! :

Anno of: anno's place
Anno has the ability to write about anything: what she is reading, growing, meme's, what she is cooking and eating, poetry, and always I find myself delighted and absorbed in her words.

Paschal of: Murat 11
Paschal has a grand style, sui generis. I have found that my mind must relax, loosen, let go to take in the brilliance of his words (this is a good thing). And his comment section is like a string of pearls as he responds to his readers and friends. And... he has great taste in music.

Miss A of :The Essence of A Thing
Miss A has a delicious way with words. Her heart and mind can weave a tale that takes you on wild and wonderful adventures.

Erin of: Erin Sings
Ms. Erin breaths life into words with a sensuous lilt that gets my attention. Not only is she a wonderful writer, if you wander around her blog a bit you can find some of her awesome music.

The newest writer I have come to find: ThomG of Surface Tension
This man is a fantastic story teller. He has one this week called 'Snare' that I thoroughly enjoyed.

I could go on and on, for I enjoy the brilliant writing of so many people in blogland. I thank you all for sharing the beauty and depth of your words with me and the world.
