Tiny Spheres, Mist and Light

a glorious summer walk today

found mist in a wee tiny web

looking 

feeling  

entering another realm

how many realms exist in our world

to shift our perception 

from the mundane

to the tiny

we are changed

The Sun Came Out to Play

perhaps you remember my autumn day 

at this very location: click here to view

blue skies

aquamarine waters

circles of land cloaked in winters fading snow

textures reveal 

light and shadow

line between 

terra and blue yonder a visual delight

do you know who made these tracks?

I would love to hear your thoughts

maybe river otter?

and 

I went to the bear tree, do you remember? 

this next photo is one from that post: here

well

last autumn

mama and one of the two cubs returned

mama climbed the tree and little one gave up the climb half way up

cub did that twice and is reported to have stayed on the earth

for two days while mama was in the den way up at the top

then....

the cub made it up

tucked in for the season....

a wind storm came 

howling mighty

the rotten Cottonwood Tree fell to the earth

oh my

no one found the bears on the earth

so we envision they wandered off

this is what i found:

the tree fallen

looked so much smaller than it did from afar

with bears in its limbs

I looked at claw marks from them climbing the tree

the marks were plenty up and down the tree

~

I sat in the den

and felt what it might have been like

to live in a tree

this was their den

a home for three....

Autumn Sunset

Autumn Sunset

in the presence of light
we are purified

in the presence of color

we come present

in the presence of mountains majestic

rich spaciousness

in the presence of light
a luminosity that nourishes

in the presence of reflection
we soften with the satiny surface

with sunset

we breathe 

in sync with life

Tangible Warning

they appeared
majestic in beauty and muscle
above our heads on summer cliffs
blue sky
green  flora
framed them superbly

their gaze landed on us with concern
in turn this should have concerned us
yet we watched with joy to see them

two elders came down the cliffs toward us
sent the younger ones far around

as they neared 

a force quite tangible
beamed from their eyes and forehead
warning us to back off

we did
they held us off
until their tribe was far away
lowering their heads to eat

The Colors of Rocks Water and Air

our world

our planet

expresses a depth of beauty

that stirs my life

deeply and to the surface

inspires my breath to meet the respiration of life

with vitality

with presence

with appreciation

to inhale the air that rises from these bubbles

to know I breath air stirred by glacial melt

is a gift enormous

air is something we all share 

earth and stones the clay our bodies rise from

rocks our brothers and sisters

care something to be on the surface of our flesh

for to care for our family is essential

In the Afternoon Sun

in the afternoon sun

after a gentle rain

near a bubbling brook

where the deer do reign

breathe air pristine

lifting flowers scents

offering fragrance of

fairyslippers breath

~

~

Fairyslipper

a wild and tiny orchid

lives under the canopy of forest

a rare and delightful beauty

but do not step too close

for though it has a heavenly scent

you may damage its fragile roots

and then it will not grow back next year

Autumn Equinox

spirit of the wild surrounds me
held in a clouds embrace

howling wind
lifts and blows
revealing vast horizons
valleys mountains
forests turning golden
fog clouds rain hail
wind the paint brush
spirit of the wild
~

on the threshold of Autumn

weather changes every moment

colors dance as leaves take flight

it is a lively and wild time

wishing you a lovely Autumn

in my last post I offered 3 greeting cards from my Spirithelpers 

website to the person who could tell me what the tiny red 

fungi were. 

Cobi from Paddestoelengek guessed:

I think they are Scutellina scutellata.

I think that is what they are too, thanks to the help from my 

fungi teacher, Larry Evans, from Fungal Jungle.

Congratulations Cobi!

I thank everyone for joining in the fun and guessing!

Textures and Life

without one texture
would life be the same

each and every
sound and scent
a part of every flame

we lean near
or shift far

we mix it up
make it our
way

with out
each texture
how would life
sway
