Winter Glimpses

we love our little winter chickadees

this one

a 

black-capped chickadee

sometimes are winter sky is like above

daydream inspiring

sometimes peace inspiring:

we are still bundled under a deep blanket of snow

which makes tracking so much fun

who walked over the bridge during the night:

the little nuthatch has its down fluffed up:

winter glimpses

Sunset

when the sun nears the horizon

and

 mountains reflect on an icy lake 

ones breath gentles 

and 

light becomes a healing balm

~

 

icy angel wings 

they were invisible to the ordinary eye

but the lake knew they were there

the wind also

the wind stirred the lake waters

and

sprayed it on the wings

 so that we can see them in the form of ice 

and

tuck their beauty into our heart for ever more

we went to lake McDonald

on the eve of my birthday

lovely to say goodbye to my year with the setting of the sun

Considering Love

natures lovely hearts

this one dressed in 

raindrops

through time

a peachy rock

is shaped as a heart

forest fungi

forms as a heart

ice crystals

live in my heart

we all love our little birds

that stay all winter

singing through our milky gray days

(mountain chickadee)

I don't collect heart rocks

(except as photos)

but when I find heart shapes in nature

they do inspire a smile

 last week the sun came out

inspiring pine grosbeak to bath in the creek

you might want to click to see the wee film in full screen
sorry i could not hold the camera still with the lens zoomed out

the males are red and females gold

such a dear sight

~

lovely day of love to you
