A light dusting of snow
quiets the woods with peace enough
to sooth the world.
The Choir
The Mare
Curls
Golden girl of the forest
the birch wears its bark
in a cascade of curls.
Bonfire
Entwined
Forest Magic
Woodland Tapestry
Outcropping
Mighty Foot
Halo
Out of the Woods
Undaunted
by winter’s demands
evergreens refuse to release color or needles
and stand in defiant contrast to the ever greying landscape.
Uprooted
Quiet White
Aspiration
Time
Winter Bloom
River Run
Ocean Grass
the meadow waves
lap at the birch shore line
Balance
becomes possible
by accepting
circumstances.
The Spirit of Colors
Colors emanate
from bare branches
autumn’s aura
Sweets
Winter candy coats the ground
and transforms it
into a nonpareil.
Winter’s Approach
Ice creeps across the marsh.
Pine trees await their white winter coats.
Cold sharpens the silence.
Sugared Maple
The frozen world
creates the leaf’s
next incarnation of beauty
Frost Beard
The stump
wears a stubble of frost
autumn’s five o’clock shadow
Dried
Before the first flake falls
the dried wild flower
shares a flurry of beauty.
Golden Thread and Meadow Ribbon
A sparkling of frost
gloriously gift wraps
the meadow.
Destination
Through the dried grass
the wooden path
leads to winter.
Thankfulness
In all her dazzling displays and subtle simplicities
nature’s ever evolving beauty nurtures
the ability to be grateful.
