September changes it's Cloak

September changes it's Cloak

still a mix of greens and golds

accented with the bone white of aspen trunks

and 

ankle high 

amber brush

 creek walking

offers a myriad of fallen leaves

shades of green 

to find delight in

a 

nest of puffballs

held in a green embrace

Autumn brings new wonders

Spring Walk, Today

walking through the woods

my first wildflowers of the year

so tiny, i almost missed them

tiny fungi, big color

(ascomycetes, perhaps)

the top of a young pine tree

(if you were wondering)

last nights raindrops adorn moss

first and only violet that i saw

i did not eat this one

 

so tiny, i nearly did not see this family of five

(perhaps a Mycena)

buds

illumined in sunlight

~

Spring is beginning to burst

still a subtle thing

but if you look real closely

it is bursting
