Evening Walk

such an inviting road

still closed to cars due to avalanches

perfect for wandering

(Eureka Mountains)

exquisite flowers cloak the earth

like stars dance in the skies

wonderful flowers for us to find

so much bear grass that it inspires joy

the precious and tiny spotted saxifrage

look at what i found on my cabin!

a muddy bear print

at shoulder height

about the size of my hand:

summer is full on here

with days around 90F

pretty hot, but nice with a breeze and shade

Summer Solstice 2013

Summer Solstice beauty thrills

walking forest paths so lush

never knowing who is far or near

tiny glimpses 

charm my eyes

flowers one with butterflies

flowers and green cloak the earth

mother's hide their tiny fawns

blooms celebrate the sun's rays

a new season dawns

Let It Flow

In the depth of the night

under a blanket of dark sky
egos rest
let go
spirit opens her wings
dances wildly
sweetly
touches our daytime edges
then penetrates
beyond human boundaries
into the flow of the infinite
~

Bear Grass

We've had a lovely week,
blue skies that release the warm scents of summer.

Bear Grass

flowers like bright torches
illuminated in sunlight
ignite the forest floor
drawing us to their beauty
also true
of you
a light
that shines brightly as you carpet the earth
sharing your unique qualities
precious and worthy
touching hearts
as you go
