Autumn's Paintings

Autumn has a signature 

within its' light and colors

dancing clouds 

move through the land

setting sun 

paints zenful lines

forest mushrooms

intertwine

lake shore captures fallen leaves

bear tracks

as fresh as the air i breathe

*

have the bears tucked themselves in

to a cave

or a tree 

I think it is still too warm here 

to hibernate

may you walk in beauty

Fabric of Life

rose

grays

light minty green

wings like i have never seen

patterns 

colors

endless array

fabric of life 

is on display

Autumn's

dancing waters

Mushroom Fun!

nature's artful beauty

textures

colors

 find them hidden in the trees

busy little squirrels

my favorite sort of treasure hunt!

Great Grey Owl for Halloween

walking through the woods
feeling the soft give to the forest floor
even though it snowed 4 inches last night

looked up to watch snow plopping from trees above

there you were
a great grey owl
looking into my eyes

a calm majestic being
sitting at the meadow's edge
listening
watching
waiting

so perfect for Halloween
and
Samhain

lovely celebrations to one and all

Colors of a Season

this autumn has filled it's days

with a brilliant show of colors

light and shadow dance

a delight for our eyes

gals getting their gobble on:

Tamaracks don their golds

ankles of trees

cloaked in leaves

the storm could not veil all the sun's light

forest walks delight

wee fungi kin

but today

is another facet of autumn:

Frosty Beauties

morning light

reveals

our mundane world 

overflows with magical life

frost it grows

in endless expression

texture color

light

ice that grows over night

 temporal magnificence

my heart will never be the same

 your presence has changed me

An Autumn Blessing

may your path be bright and clear

may your heart always hear
the singing of the leaves
dancing of the trees
whispers of the wind
telling who are kin
may peace also abound
joy and laughter be your friend
let all journeys fill your life with beauty love and light

The Voices of the Day

the voices of the day
call to me
call to me
first the rivers song
rolling over rocks
whispers to my ear

the more i listen
the more i hear

the swell of the breeze
mingling with the trees

and their dry leaves
music in the air

autumn grass quite dry

bending in the breeze
crisp sounds they do make

the more i listen 

the more i hear

I went camping up the North Fork, Polebridge area last week

Autumn is entirely beautiful this year...
