We store up colour,
Bright red leaves and summer blooms,
Ghosts for winter dreams.

A few years ago there was a northern #Idaho super bloom. I was visiting my son and found these exquisite fairy bells. They bloom at home, too, but these were the largest, loveliest, and most luminous I've ever seen.

#wildflowers #nativeplants #flowers #forest #naturephotography 🌿

Luminous, white fairy bells with their yellow stigmas emerging from the airy, flaring petals. They bloom tucked under a leaf, as shown here, so I had to take this photo sitting on the ground looking up. The plants were unusually large that year, as were the flowers.

the subtle hum
of the tea kettle’s simmer
days of summer
shorten into autumn
the last hummingbird visits

Zoetic dawn
Fog of a thousand breaths
Unwinds daybreak

This is a landscape nature photo I took this morning of fog coming up over the forest. As the sun rose, rays of light and layers of mist curled through the cedar, pine, and poplar. In the distance, five crows scattered from left to right, just over the hazy mountains.

a watertall
speaks itself alive
waters cascading
storytelling a wildness
like a spirit released
it laughs and cries
all at once
