Hibernation done, Sunlight saturates our cells, Renewal begins. We have been experiencing an extraordinary spring this year. Spring has come early and the weather has been spectacular. All the flowers and the people have been coming out of their winter hibernation to enjoy the warmth and the sun. What a feeling that is, stepping outside…

Accidental friend, Unable to walk between worlds, Be free beyond me. This was a difficult week. A few weeks ago, this dog came into our lives by accident.

Blanketed in white, A quiet tunnel beckons, The future calling. Typically I would be riding this particular bit of trail but was on foot this visit, enjoying one of our rare snow falls this winter.

This little leaf skeleton was a nice surprise during one of my woods walks. I could just envision the leaf in the autumn, falling from the tree overhead to land on this mossy log. …

Spying on the world, Flamboyantly insecure, Earthy Peek-A-Boo. Once again I was out in the woods with my camera when the bright splash of orange caught my eye. Such humble little photographic subjects, but that silly little mushroom just made me smile. I knew that I wanted to include this photo on my blog, but I have…

Fragile hanging shell, Extinguished for the season, Waiting for spring’s light. Winter is such an interesting time for introspection. To take stock in what has happened in the past and to look forward to the future. Often times it seems so difficult to battle the doldrums of winter, to not let the drab and weary weather…
