Loblolly Pine
From the sandy dunes to the edge of the salt marsh the whispered secrets of the loblolly pines are shooshed by the prevailing winds.

Reflections from the Woods
Whether it a remembrance of the roots of ancestry
or a reminder to stand tall and kind and flexible in the wind
or a call to use imagination to hunt moose without a gun
the woods is a great place to go inward to enjoy your own creative thoughts!
A joyful wonderment to you today!

Hardy Beach Flowers
Though they shiver in the cool salty breeze and it's hard to get them in focus, the Maryland beach flowers still thrive in the warm October sun. I know the goldenrod isn't a flower, just a weed, but I like to give weeds their moment of glory as well.

Hunter Moon
The Hunter Moon rose in a forest of night. Gnarled fingers of crone grey were spread to the sky where the Moon nested for a view... ready to ambush the prey of the October hunt.

Serene Scenes
A pet dog frolicking on the sand, wispy chartreuse leaves try to tickle the water, a coral of color singing to the blue skies.... I could watch for hours and so I did!

All About Leaves
Sun-kissed brilliance
Caramel and butterscotch
Just taking a swim
Fairies paint in red
Floating on a watery rainbow

Rolling Along Rt. 81
Just a few sights as we whizzed through the PA- Maryland border, a sneak preview of what has proven to be the peak leaf season of this October weekend. The birds were all excited as was I... of what was to come!

Spirit Guide
It seems that my spirit guide is a doe that shows up when I least expect it and stares unafraid as I approach... even with a little one in tow. I respectfully keep my distance, but it is nice to know that even though I have moved away from the woods and the floodplain, the doe is there watching at the homes of my children.

Mellow, Ready, and Crisp
Soft and mellow the leaves seem to melt in the noonday sun.
Reddened and ready for the gentle fall.
Vivid and crisp... colors that will eventually turn to crunch.

Goodbye Old Friend
It was a cool clear blustery day, pleasant for October and nothing out of the ordinary when a sudden cracking ripping sound was heard.
There in the yard an old linden tree lay... uprooted and split at the base. The leaves, still green, gave off an eerie death rattle in the breeze. She had survived a fungal infection to her distal branches, and a wire noose that someone harnessed into her trunk, and a glancing lightening strike that rendered a small patch of her bark bruised purple, and yet it only took one gust of wind to push her over the edge. A sprinkling of young weeds had already claimed the territory surrounding her uprooted base... life continues.
This tree hugger offered a prayer of thanks for her years of service to the birds that sought refuge under her outstretched limbs and said a fond farewell... her remains will be cremated in a farmers wood-burning stove and life will continue around her former dwelling place.

Palm Fronds
Whether they're lying on the sand like a snake dinosaur or swaying in the night-time breezes, palms are fun to photograph and color.
