Under a New Fallen Snow

There is a peace that permeates one’s being while walking through a garden after a new fallen snow.

But along  with that peace comes a feeling of sadness as the realization of knowing another season comes to an end.

Endings may be not be what they appear

Look into hidden corners of the garden and see what emerges from the snow cover ground

Allow your eyes to be drawn to vibrant colors in an otherwise neutral landscape

Rejoice in knowing this is not an end, only life passing through celestial cycles

  

 

 

 

 

Looking Deep into the Natural World

 Bits and pieces left behind

In forest

On lawns

In hidden corners

Beauty, symmetry, organic

 

Beyond the Veil of Darkness

No moonlight illuminated the paths this night

The blackness appeared more intense like that of rich velvet

Yet I knew something waited just beyond

Their scent was heightened by the their lack of visual beauty

I knew what I would find, but I did not know just as the blackness appeared more intense this night, so to were their colors

In previous years I’ve ventured out after dark

Please take a moment to see what past forays have revealed

Impending Darkness

Underwing

Just Beyond the Darkness

 

After the Rain and into the Garden

Take a moment after a summer’s rain to step out into  the garden

Close your eyes and take a deep breath

Imagine what you will see

Beauty?  Perfection?  Exquisiteness?

Last Night

Twilight

Aromatic scents fill the air

The earth’s perfume – sweet, earthy, musk and floral notes tease our sense of smell

 A walk through a garden is experiential
