Considering Love

natures lovely hearts

this one dressed in 

raindrops

through time

a peachy rock

is shaped as a heart

forest fungi

forms as a heart

ice crystals

live in my heart

we all love our little birds

that stay all winter

singing through our milky gray days

(mountain chickadee)

I don't collect heart rocks

(except as photos)

but when I find heart shapes in nature

they do inspire a smile

 last week the sun came out

inspiring pine grosbeak to bath in the creek

you might want to click to see the wee film in full screen
sorry i could not hold the camera still with the lens zoomed out

the males are red and females gold

such a dear sight

~

lovely day of love to you

Luminous Beauty

depth of spirit
gives rise
to luminous beauty
luminous light
enhances aesthetic splendor
tis simply the way with spirit and luminosity

I am not sure what the little white flowers are.
The lacy blue flowers are: forget me nots.

To see other folks macro photographs: see Lisa at Macro Monday

The Grace of Flowers

In your presence
the world is vibrant
the air rarefied

In your presence
life is buoyant
light spilling over

a cheerful spirit runs through
my veins
in your presence
I am aware
of a life full of grace

Spring is sprinkled with endless wildflowers

and I seem to be sprinkled with ticks
as I shoot photos of these little beauties
on my hands and knees!

Each photo was taken within this past week.
1) Fairyslipper or Calypso orchid
2) Obscure Bluebells
3) Glacier Lilies
4) Forget Me Nots
