Spring Ice

the sun came out

inspired a walkabout

this creek was found

cloaked in bijou of ice

and

sang a song

of bubbles and flowing waters

dressed in soft light

Ice Ice Baby ~

it's a winter wonderland

magical glimpses along the shore

sparkly ice for us to adore

like chandeliers of enchantment

lit by the setting sun

Cloudy January Day

the day was shades of

blue and gray

along the shore

found icy treasures

 

artful sculptures

 

a window to a red rock gem

 

air bubbles 

held in the embrace of ice

just enough light

for reflection

~

Like a Chandelier

 stepping onto a lakeshore beach
steeped in morning shade
dappled in morning light
song of pouring creek
spring bush laden with newborn buds
shinning
lit up
like a crystal chandelier
i felt as though i stepped into mystical magical realm
yes

that would be planet earth

Icy Pillars Form and Fall

ice 

like diamonds dripping from a ladies hand

drips and forms from natures graceful limb

awesome pillars form and fall

reflections call my eyes 

which are enthralled

nature's grace once again

wins my heart with it's artful show

Passion

passionate
who me
about ice crystals
is it that obvious

well
if you were to meet
to truly treat
yourself to perch on your heels

gaze at their form
with light streaming through
blue sky too
tis my guess
that you

would feel passion too
perhaps even kinship 

with the fragile delight that you find
~

Thank you
to everyone for wishing me a wonderful time last night at the Headwaters Photography Event!
It was a wonderful evening of amazing photography.
As well as raising money to take care of our waters.

Caring for our waters is not only important
it is Essential!

Changeable Dance of Water

fluid
frozen
shadows and light
colors dance
to our delight
wood and stone
don't dance alone
they mingle
a life of
varied textures

Glimpse of a week of winter skies

Morning sunlight is subtle
it pours through a thin layer of off white clouds
all is painted in pearlescent light
soft shadows of gray show off
impressions left in the crusty surface of snow
who passed when I was not here
will they pass when I am some day
there is enough warmth in this frozen morning
to release the scent of the trees
I walk inhaling
feeling the scent permeate my insides
I feel as though a tree now lives
within

home:

heading up the N.Fork, I love how I can see the lines of the hills in winter:

there's no road under that snow! I have to say 'tis a lovely place to wait to be rescued. Seven people stopped to ask if I need help, the last person with skill, was able to pull me out. I love Montana!:

in town:

sunset can takes ones breath away
replacing it with light:

Many snow critters & many icicles

Recently, at sunset I came upon these snow critters.

I am amazed to see all the wondrous forms that snow can take.

The chant of the wolves rises and falls
as the light of the moon
shines and disappears again
through the night's clouds

have you heard the wolves sing

their song makes me stop everything
to step out into the night

their muzzle must be held to the sky
in order to reverberate
as it does through the forest

always I wonder what are they doing
what inspires that enchanting call
for it takes spectacular events to make me
howl

like when large slabs of ice
and snow
slide off a roof
crashing into the snow below

crashing to the porch:
