all that was will be again and again…

 

may as many flowers possible bloom for you...
a soft focus of clouds on the surface of the pond...
too many dreams to follow and know...
all that was will be again and again...
all that was will be again and again... 5-24-16
all that was will be again and again... 5-24-16 b
On the railroad bed walkway-bike path the pretty view in one stretch... 5-24-14
a tree gathering light before the day ends...
a light breeze through the new leaves....
the peace in the garden within the garden
Fall Creek bathed in sun near Flat Rocks today... and there were people in the water... first swimmers seen for me this year... although they may have just been wading. 5-24-14

across the field
with the wind
my thoughts

 

glowing blooms of spring
blossoming through the drab leaves of last fall...
Late afternoon sun sparkling on the brook beside our house... parts of the creek are still frozen and the open water goes under ice in places but was running nicely this afternoon... 3-1
Cardinal red on an afternoon walk along the railroad bed... it was easy to see this little bit of red in all that gray beige backdrop...3-19-15
robin at attention 3-21-16
darkening sky 3-20-16
photos of sun sparkling on the stream beside our house 3-19-15 c
out of the drabbery
crocuses
crocus time
In another world on the light blown surface of water rippling along on the day...3-17-15

before they vanish
