More from the Tiny World

standing above

it nearly looks like a cream colored rock with dark specks

kneeling to look closely

macro lens helps

an intricate world of detail

I wonder if this is what is meant (in the title of the book) Mycelium Running

it appears to be going from the stick to the leaf

(thank goodness for the decomposers of our world)

 

 don't you want to touch it ;-)

soft little moss sculpture

like something from manicured garden

a magical threshold 

to a underworld home

snow is melting 

meadows that will later be grasslands

are now shallow lakes

I saw my first butterfly 

of the year

it really is heartwarming to note the small details

of a new season

indeed, nature is a spirit helper

lovely days and nights to you

Magical realm of Lichen

these colors!

striking designs

and colors

like an island

of wonder

many kinds

look like

living art

I still have a foot of snow at my place

yet daily the rings of earth around trees grow larger

winter is thawing into spring

 the creek sings 

day and night

wandering around boulders

a delightful miniature world

of lichen thriving

macro lens and the details spring to sight

lichen will hold me over until the world turns green

and 

mushrooms and flowers abound

Thaw and Freeze

another trip to the park,

Glacier National Park

winter ice is starting to melt

offering views of the rocks below

(above photo)

water so clear..... 

presenting all the beautiful colors

each visit

each hour

offers unique sights

treasures 

that change with the wind and sun

thaw and freeze of winter snow and ice is

an early Spring theme

offering amazement to those that wander 

and 

gander at the details

When the Sun shines on Us

ah-mazing!

when the sun comes out

I haven't seen an icy shore like this for a while

which creates wonderfully artful details

reflections 

offer a double dose of beauty

ice, sunlight and colorful rocks under water

are eye candy that touches the soul

Early Spring

meadows of snow

turn to creeks and lakes

along edges artful ice bathed in shadow

and sunlight

colors and shapes

reflections that dance

colored by last autumns grass

 and shadows

grace ongoing snow

spring

early spring

Cloudy January Day

the day was shades of

blue and gray

along the shore

found icy treasures

 

artful sculptures

 

a window to a red rock gem

 

air bubbles 

held in the embrace of ice

just enough light

for reflection

Summer's Embrace

water falls

from the top

plus from an inner cave half way down:

dancing waters

mingle with shadow and light

 

along the shore, wild columbines:

Two Medicine:

Summer fills our days and nights

fabric of life 

is on display

Autumn's

Italy's Clear Mountain Water

Italy's high mountain water

and colorful rocks

sparkling clear

bubbling music for all to hear

ripples and reflections a delight

beauty in life always feels right
