Little Blessings Of Spring

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

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.

When The Flowers Form Constellations

Hello friends!Tonight’s feature image is titled “False Rue Anemone 33020b” and is available for purchase by the instructions at the bottom of the article.

The light sweeps over forest floor and the shadows grow long while I crawl through the thick mat of last year’s leaves. All around me the pockets of moss grow thick and ever so slowly encroach on the open ground. The songbirds are calling and a little earlier I saw the first butterfly of 2020. The trees are definitely awake and some of the maples have put on new leaves that are beginning to unfurl and welcome the warm rays of the sun. The burgeoning Spring landscape is changing so fast now that one day is all it takes to miss some of the smaller changes. The little False Rue Anemone was nothing more than a cluster of tiny leaves one day and the next day they were fully open. The little white blooms are spread across the forest floor like the stars in the night sky. Somewhere in the depths of imagination constellations begin to form in the clusters of flowers complete with their own myths. The archetypes are the same. Lovers, hunters, creatures of legend and high adventure with a moral to the story. Soon these flowers will close and others will open up a new chapter in the myths but for now I have these little beauties in my sanctuary.

False Rue Anemone In The Afternoon.

Hello friends! Tonight’s feature image is titled “False Rue Anemone 33020” and is available for purchase by the instructions at the bottom of the article.

The late afternoon is already blending into early evening as I reach my little sanctuary on little elk mountain. The procession of the Appalachian Wildflowers brings a new pleasure on a daily basis. My land is painted in a matrix of tiny little dots. Some are colorful and others are white. The one in tonight’s feature image caught my attention when I noticed the delicate shape of the tiny leaves being somewhat reminiscent of a mitten. I was thrilled just to see something green popping up through the duff but the little white flowers opened and revealed the world of glory inside. The bloom was capped by a golden crown. And the little flowers seem to fix their gaze on the sun as it began it’s descent into the West.

The flowers are called False Rue Anemone and it’s one that I’ve only just begun to look into so for now I am just thankful to enjoy it’s simple beauty.
