I Talk to the Trees

When I could use

that little bit of something

I talk to the trees

Their hushed reply

floats by 

 in the breeze

 to nourish my needs

~

In a Blue Mist

So faintly I could see

a small stand of trees

in the field before me

~

Intertwined

Two reeds

in still waters

~

String of Tears

For the

Holocaust

Never Forget

~

Humbled

 by His beauty

~

Emerald Beauty

Silent and serene

~

Be Amazed

I didn't have time

to look at the sky

didn't stop and gaze

and be amazed

Age

set time free

not just to look

but to see

~

Silent Whispers

I could see it I could feel it

I could hear

its silent whispers

~

 

Sharing with Sweet Shot

The Beauty of Slumbering Trees

Photography has reawakened

my love

of wintering trees

~

Faded Beauty

By a tiny old window

tattered and torn

Sits a flower made of sunshine

now tired and worn

~

Paths

Our paths are uncertain

they climb and they wind

Where will they take us

what futures will they find

~

Twilight Time

Moments before darkness fell

at the wetlands

~

Tree Sprite Tree

Come

and play by me

~

The Day Awakened

To a gentle  

morning mist

~ 

Wanderings

Discovered this

Very quirky Very tiny

State Park

that doesn't even have a name

Always fun exploring

new places

~

 

Sharing with Sweet Shot

A Magical Place

In a canyon not far from home

lives a little rainforest

where fairies and tree sprites roam

~

Glowing

in the last light of day

 Mt St Helens

~

Solitude

There's a reason I seek out peace

  quiet solitude

and to be surrounded by nature

Child abuse not only steals our childhoods

but our very lives as well

I am a survivor

it isn't always easy

~

Afternoon at the Lake

Watching someone fish

 from a small boat

on a quiet lake

is amazingly peaceful

~

Stillness

In winter thick heavy fogs

often steal visibility

on our mountain roads

Difficult to drive in

but oh so beautiful to photograph

~

Trees are Forever

Sustaining life

providing shelter

creating endless beauty

~

Graced With Afternoon Light

Weatherworn

yet forever beautiful

~

Just Duckie

Mr and Mrs Mallard

enjoying the last bit

of sunlight

~

Fabulous Fog

I watched

as low fog

slowly rolled in

~

Dusk

A few ducks flying

 to their nighttime retreat

An otter silently 

slicing through the waters

And I in total awe

Heavenly

~

 

Sharing with Sweet Shot

Reaching for the Heavens

In the stillness

of nightfall

~

Peeking Through

The other side

  of Wonderland

~

Rust Transformed

 

 

Art

Inspiration

 is everywhere

An old crumpled up

guardrail

given new life

~

Swirly Gigs

Strange cloud formations

on a seemingly

windless day

~

Through WinteringTrees

Winter walks

So worth the cold nose

and toes 

 

Mt St Helens 

~

Last Light

A late afternoon walk

at the frozen wetlands

Cold but beautiful

~
