I could not resist. Our greenway system goes by a large river. The wildflowers this year have been beautiful. I took a few photos because I’m sure they won’t last much longer. I noticed the first few red berries on one of the bushes which don’t usually come out until this time of year, late summer or early fall.
I love the old sycamore trees with their white bark. You can really see them good in winter when they lose their leaves. Even though the sky was overcast, the river always has good displays of reflections whether it’s plants or the colors of the sky. I hope you have very blessed day!

Hidden Garden
A Hidden Garden
(Within a hidden garden)
Inside a busy cityscape
Lies an open gate
To a hidden gem
Where mysteries lurk,
Water’s secrets float and swim
A serene lake’s surface
Offers repose
For water’s nymphs
To, chat, relax
& often dip their toes
Unseen by most
But yet they are near
Try to catch a glance
As sunbeams flash
Upon a wing so clear
A fairy queen sits enthroned
Upon a flowered trumpet
As her minions below
Twitter, laugh and dance
At water’s edge within its misted glow
At the end of the path
Too soon it feels
I must leave such
An enchanted place
As I reluctantly turn
Toward reality’s beckoning gate
Forlornly, I sigh
Not wishing to say goodbye
Yet, this I know
Within my mind’s eye
I will always hold
The joy of the hidden path
Thus, anytime down this
Winding shady lane
I shall often choose to go.

Morning’s Mercies
Fresh, morning’s mercies
Recreated new world
Still trembling in moistures
Of crystal dew-drops
These shining pearls
Festoon green-leafed spots
Of glory
Ancient trees, boulders
At edge of water’s shoulders
Could tell many a story
If we take the time to listen
Upon the banks of an earthy liquor
sparkling in bright glistens
Of past times caught, moving
within its wettest web
It’s moving cascades end
Where the calm lake’s surface begins
Kissed by angel’s lips
Granting serenity, peace
To all willing beneath
Its surface their mind to dip
To contemplate and connect
With our Creator’s grace-full face
Leaf’s Lace
Leaf’s Lace
Leaf’s lace
In water
Frozen for all time
Your clear crystal glory
Only brings to mind
A forest’s giant
Rough bark glazed
Painted in winter’s whites
Glistening, waiting
In a cooler’s sun’s light
I walk through
Boots all full of snow
Enjoying the dripping silence
Of this cold day’s glow
Nature waiting
All quiet, sleeping for now
As it comes in unannounced
Spring’s breath blows gently
Stirring to arouse
Medieval Forest
KODAK Digital Still Camera
Medieval Forest
Medieval forest
Formed from trees
Of old
Stories of
Ancient ancestors
Without one
Word told
Silent remnants
Of a quieter world
Watchers of events
Man, animals
Passing through
Still your green
Canopies you unfurl
for us to enjoy
In a faster paced world
We need your reflective
Faces
To remind us of the
graces
Still to be had from
The quiet stillnesses
within
A medieval forest.
