To Spring, and all things green!

“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot, and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.”

-Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

After my first entry which was entirely different, this one is to Spring, and all things green!

Spring. First leaves of a tree. Blue Sky. Photography.
Baby leaves in the blue old sky!
Green, asparagus, copper, pan, photography.
Greens are good for the soul!
Walk in the green forest. Path. Trek. Hike. Photography. Photos.h
The path through the tall green trees!
Green. Monochrome. shaded. Photography.
Color me some green!
Fresh bright green leaves of the trees against the sky. Photography.
I love trees and the sky!
Mint Oreos stacked. Photography. Photos.
Mint Oreos…
Spring. First leaves of a tree. Blue Sky. Photography.
The bright green of the young leaves that steal my heart…

The twilight tree… Skyscape # 005

Twilight, tree, sky, sunset.
The bare twilight tree. Skyscape # 005

THE TWILIGHT TREE

THE waning sun
The sky blue still
The night to come
The heart athrill

THE tree so bare
Looks up to the sky
The sunset’s glare
The darkness nigh

IT’S arms outspread
It’s soul inviting
A tree beckons
With love abiding

BOUND notwithstanding
Its Spirit free
All over, burning
The Twilight Tree..

Twilights are one of my favorite times of the day. It is a short time when two worlds merge, creating a third, evanescent one. This poem is dedicated to twilight and the witnessing tree.

 

 

Skyscape # 004 / A hundred little birds and more

It was a particularly sunny and warm day, and the sky was dotted with an amoeba-like shape made up of lots and lots of black wings, elongating and twisting, as the party moved from tree to tree. The above picture (no filter applied) is a moment in time when hundreds of birds were perched on the leaf-less tree tops, a sight to see as they stopped awhile, and before I knew it, they were soaring back in the fresh blue skies!

And below is the picture (transfer filter on iPhone). I love the color and how it changes the mood…
