Embracing the Unknown

Of mystery and wonder

and the wanting

of their unknown

~

For Istanbul

Reaching for the sky

asking why

peace

seems so elusively

out of reach

~

Satin White

The pureness of white

in the all of nature

or a single daisy

forever touches my heart

and warms my soul

with gladness

~

Awakening at Dawn

Bidding farewell

at dusk

the Daylily

~

Found

One tiny little

fairy wing

will keep safely tucked

under my pillow

until owner is found

I can even stitch it back on

for you

~

Leaving Reality Behind

We venture into the unknown

to explore the realm

of possibilities

In the Spotlight

Glowing in morning light

a pretty little fluff

of blue

~

Walking the Woodlands

To hear the silence

nothing more

~

Innocence

and purity

is a rose bud

~

Dainty Daisies

Reaching so high

determined

to touch the sky

~

Sun Lovers

Sometimes supplying

their own

little bit

of sunshine

~

Happy Clouds

The clouds were busy

at Silver Lake

this late afternoon

bubbling and blooming

and bursting with beauty

~

Shape and Form

The Calla Lily

nature made

to perfection

~

Gone to Seed

Even after

the Laurel blooms

have all gone to seed

there is beauty

~

Talking to the Flowers

and

the butterflies

~

Embrace the Day

And the Love

found in it

~

Reaching for the Sun

Our rose bush

stretching far and high above

and so beautifully

out of control

~

My Heart is Filled with Sorrow

I weep for Orlando

For the senseless loss

of life

 Why can we not

live together

in peace

~

Opening Soon

Foxglove

anxiously eager

bursting 

at its seams

~

Ruffles and Ridges

Rose Petals

pure

perfection

~

Peaceful Beauty

The quiet beauty

of simplicity

~

Sunlight in Shadow

Brightening up

the shadows

of late afternoon

~

Sharing with Through My Lens                                                                     

Roses and Raindrops

A rose given

is forever

etched

in our hearts

~

Ruffles So Soft

Sweet scented ruffles

softly swaying

to a warm

summer's breeze

~

Catching the Light

Elusively

giving light to shadow

teasingly

dancing across leaf and flower

before hurrying away

~

A Warm Welcome

On an outstretched tree

downed by the eruption

of Mt St Helens

a lone Jay sits

singing his morning song

~

Intertwined

Intertwined with thee

I be

~

Sharing with Through My Lens                                                                                 

Petal Soft

Softness

I see

Gladness

I feel

~

Wild Delights

Wild Columbine

I found these lovelies

at the edge of the forest

~

Bold and Beautiful

The Foxglove

lovers

of sunshine

~
