Exploring the Forest…

What is this I saw

Walking in the woods today –

Faeries all around…

Isle Haute

Driftwood pointing to

Isle Haute on the horizon –

Magical island…

New Growth

Looked like mud only

Until I stepped closer in –

Spring growth emerging.

Visual Haiku…

So close to sunset

Nearly full moon high above –

Rock formations ground.

The Path…

A path less traveled

Takes me to springtime meadows –

Welcome to sunshine!

New Colour

Bright colour bursts forth

From branches resting for months –

Maple in bloom soon!

Complementary Colours in Nature

Azure sky above

Geological wonders –

Complementary…

Last Year’s Leaves…

I found last year’s leaves

Silver Birch in the back woods –

Timely reminder…

Spring…

The promise of spring

Neatly packaged in one bud –

Tomorrow brings change.

Perfect Destination…

Yearning for the beach

Where open waters meet land –

Blue sky overhead!

A Welcome Sight

Horses passing by

On the vast empty beaches –

Quick interaction…

Found Treasure…

A shadow across

Moss covered rock in the woods –

A treasure I found.

Humbled…

In awe about time

As nature’s force presents this –

Everywhere I turn!

Insurmountable…

Massive obstacle

Of ancient rocks and driftwood –

Insurmountable…

Elements at work…

This rocky pillar

Standing tall along the cliffs –

Elemental signs.

In Nature…

Walking the beaches

While seeking tranquility –

Found serenity…

The Boulder

Enormous rock face

Like Building blocks of giants –

Only one boulder.

Driftwood

Washed up on the beach

And bleached by wind and water –

These driftwood sculptures.

Rocky Beach

The tide receding

With azure sky overhead –

Quite the rocky beach…

Nature, the artist…

Some lush green seaweed

Draped loosely over beach rocks –

Nature’s the best artist.

Two Seasons…

Crystal clear water

With a lonely leaf floating –

Visual haiku…

The Shapes of Rocks…

Looking back to town

Rocks are piled against the sky –

Like a Hershey Kiss…

Sunny View…

The weeping vista

Extending to the far shores –

Sun breaks through the clouds.

Found Treasure…

Hidden in plain sight

A translucent seaweed branch –

Draped across the rock…

Safely Perched…

Perched high on the pole

This large snail house balances –

On this grey morning.

Hidden Treasure

Out of the seaweed

A piece of driftwood reaches –

Gulls shriek from the sky.

Bay of Fundy Reflections

Blue sky reflecting

Off the deep water’s surface –

The Bay of Fundy…

Marshland…

This exposed marshland

The difference a day makes –

The tide rushes in.

High Tide

At the rising tide

Water rushes past quickly –

Sea weed in colour.

High Tide…

The tide rises high

With waves driven by strong winds –

An island appears.

Gifts from the Ocean…

Crustations galore

Tightly populating rocks –

The ocean’s riches!

Measuring time…

Ancient rock faces

Carved out through Millennia –

Waves and shell circles…

Sea Weed and Sandstone…

Millenial folds

Present themselves before me –

Covered in sea weed…

Taking a Rest…

Exploring the Bay

Jumping here and jumping there –

A tired puppy.

Ancient History

Witness to time and

Geological events –

Layers of colours.

Low Tide…

Low tide Impression

With ripples left by the waves –

A rock and sea weed.

Who?

Beckoning from there

A decimated tree trunk –

Was it the beaver?

Above and Below…

Crossing the river

Plank on the diagonal –

Natural patterns…

The Eye…

Wind and salt water

Outlining indentations –

When an eye appeared…

Icy Puzzle

Fractured shards of ice

A frozen surface puzzle –

So mesmerizing…

Crows…

Bird on a wire

Suspended so high above –

A murder of crows.

Driftwood Beauty

Polished by nature

With wind, water and sunshine –

This driftwood beauty…

Icy Droplets…

By the water wheel

Icy drops envelope twigs –

Winter’s last hurrah.

Observations…

Some seaweed drying

Suspended from driftwood –

A walk by the river…

Unique

Natural grey scale

Presents on the aged drift wood –

Each one so unique,,,,

At Sunset…

Light falls at sunset

Illuminating the beach –

Perfect reflection…

Golden Delight…

A hidden corner

Behind fallen rock debris –

Golden light surprise. .

Signs of Spring

Birdsong in the air

A brook gurgles cheerfully –

Signs of early spring.

There is a Crack… or two…

Smooth stones at the beach

With cracks in everything –

Where the light gets in…

Hard versus Soft…

Large slabs of pale rock

Disrupt the pebbly beach scape –

Hard and soft edges…
