Under the Birch Tree

I went to visit my paper birch tree

spied bright lemon yellow

what could that be?

Wow, a yellow mushroom!

There are three. 

I am enjoying carrying a mirror

so that I can see what mushrooms look like underneath 

without picking them.

I believe they are Yellow Swamp Russula

if you think they are something else, let me know.

 also

Indian pipe are beginning to rise through the earth

such wonderfully interesting plants

found some other wonderful characters

with their super wide lower stems:

I am told they are Field Blewit's

I think of them as little beings.

mornings have been colder than my ponds water

creating wonderful mist dances:

and

this morning I had fawns in my yard, so cute

this mamma had triplets

maybe some day I will get a photo of all three

 ~

sometimes it is hard to leave home

so much happens here

Ladybug

first I spied this lovely leaf

floating in last years grass

though it was small

ten ladybugs could have used it as a boat

then i spied the tiny lady bug

i rarely see them

when i do i feel joy

a treasure has been found

 

 can you see the condensation under the wing?

(above)

 

i had driven to the top of a mountain pass, a long dirt road

got out to explore the area

a wild fire had burned through years ago

 

i enjoyed witnessing how life does eventually return

to a fire zone

 

I watched the little beetle as it wandered about

 

then settle in for a nap

~

the opposite of a ladybug

chamouflage:

never know what one will find along a mountain road

No Worries

She dropped worry

like a coal on fire
with the realization
that her observation
might not truly be
an actuality
might not truly be
in sync
& reality
it might actually be
based on old
beliefs
or even fantasy
why not simply be
with
love
