Emerging Life In Spring 2021

Hello Friends! Tonight’s Feature Image is titled “Emerging Life 33021” and is available for purchase by clicking the thumbnail and reaching out to me on the contact page.

Even as the cold wind stirs and fills the skies with snowflakes new life continues to grow in my forest. The green leaves have heard the call of the sun’s golden voice and they refuse to be put back to sleep. The time of doing has come and the job of the trees is catch the new light. April showers will be here soon and the light empowers the forest to soak up the water and cast it back to the sky through their leaves. So the leaves must open in their season. Even with the tiniest of green returning to my world I somehow feel renewed myself. It’s time to shake off the stale air of the indoors and smell the fresh earth after the rain. And to look with childlike wonderment at the small things as they go about unencumbered by the desires of mankind. The green buds and the full leaves that follow are one of my favorite markers on my natural calendar. Soon I should start seeing the minnows in my creek and the return of the Heron that silently strolls through its shoals. The heart awakens with the mountains!

Good night friends and be blessed throughout your days.

For those who have been following me on Facebook and know of the struggle content providers have to get circulation from big tech I’ve been recommending for people to adopt MeWe as a social media platform. One of the problems I’ve run into on MeWe is that people don’t know how to navigate the platform. So to help with that I’ve created a permanent page on my website as a basic Basic Beginner’s Guide To MeWe I’ve tried to anticipate all basic questions there and You can bookmark the page to have as a reference and if you have any questions or suggestions don’t hesitate to contact me. I do still have a day job and I help admin several pages on both platforms so replies might be a little slow but I will answer you.

We also have the Lloyd’s Lens Photography Discussion Group on MeWe that is set up as a fully functional community. There you’ll not only be able to see and connect with me but you can also make your own posts and interact with each other.

Embracing The Light

Color Photography, wildlife

The tranquil flow of the water fills my ears as I walk along the edge of creek. My only blooming daffodil hasn’t fully opened yet but I can’t really blame her. I like to sleep in too. The box elder and Buckeye are really starting to green up and today I found a small ring neck snake curled up under a sign that had fallen. The little snake was barely two inches long and a little chilled from the cool night air. I gently lifted him from the ground and placed him under a fallen tree to find shelter before replacing the sign. Bye and bye the warm light begins to spill over the mountains and find the spot that has become my forest sanctuary. The small mottled leaves that I found pushing their way through the forest floor a mere week ago are now fully open and a golden bloom has risen from their base. The leaves seem to stretch out like open arms that embrace the new light. The life of a trout lily is short but it’s learned that a full life comes from the new light and it fully receives what is given. And thus it’s short life is a full life and well lived.

Good night friends and be blessed throughout your days.

Awaiting Splendor

Color Photography, wildlife

The Spring day is warm but mingled with the occasional cool breeze as Old Man Winter prepares his final assault on my mountains. The old saying goes that if March comes in like a lamb it goes out like a lion. Even so, nature readies herself for the days of splendor when the forest seems to awaken all at once. The apples are nearly in full bloom but the cold snap ahead shouldn’t be too harmful. I’ve already noticed the bumblebees diligently visiting the open bloom. And there’s more. The purple tinge all along the edges of my forest tells me that the redbud is waiting for the sun to signal that it’s time to burst forth into glory. The redbud packs clusters of buds in every spot along each little twig and sometimes on its trunk. The honey sweet flowers will be everywhere this year! Don’t be discouraged by the last snowfall if it comes your way. It’s just Old Man Winter making noise as he returns North until the long nights come in late Fall.

Good night friends and be blessed throughout your days.

Little Blessings Of Spring

Color Photography, wildlife

Hello Friends! Tonight’s Feature Image is titled “Little Blessings” and is available for purchase by clicking the thumbnail and reaching out to me on the contact page.

Me feet carefully tread the soft grounds of the forest floor. I’m surrounded by new life who’s little faces dot the moss covered hillside like earthbound stars. The empty boles now show the tiniest signs of swelling buds ready to burst forth in lush green glory. Swarms of Swallowtail Butterflies play gleefully in the breeze and a purple tinge to the forest edge tells me that the Redbud is gathering strength and will soon paint the landscape with it’s sweet bloom. The long nap of the mountains is nearly over. I’d wager that somewhere in the deep bush that new eyes open for the first time. Wobbly legs feel the earth beneath fresh hooves and will soon race the wind just because they can. And as they nap in the dense thickets new voices join the chorus of the Spring. The world is renewed once again with all these little blessings.

Good night friends and be blessed throughout your days.

False Rue Anemone During The Evening Chorus

Color Photography, wildlife

Hello Friends! Tonight’s Feature Image is titled “False Rue Anemone 32621a” and is available for purchase by clicking the thumbnail and reaching out to me on the contact page.

Twilight falls early here on the dark side of my mountain. In burgeoning days of Spring I am overjoyed to have a little light to work with at the end of the day. So I stroll out to my forest sanctuary on the edge of my property and welcome the awakening wildflowers back into my life. Their rising starts slowly. The first few are always seated in just the right place to catch the last few rays of the sun as it swiftly fades behind the far ridge. Magic hour has arrived! Magic hour is the fleeting moment between the full strength of the sun and the moment that the dusk to dawn lights come on. The songbirds are joined by Spring Peepers and together their lullaby sings the light to sleep. The night winds spill over the mountains and rattle the few remaining fall leaves on the young beech trees. They flutter in small bursts to add rhythm to the evening chorus. The hillside is dotted with the tiny glory of the early blooms. As I looked down at my feet the False Rue Anemone seemed to call my name and beckoned me to take her portrait. She is the essence of simple beauty in the evening. Her perfect petals and upward gaze standing just above the outstretched leaves form the welcoming gesture of nature. I snapped the shutter and added her smile to my collection to pull out and enjoy forever.

Good night friends and be blessed throughout your days.
