A visit to Anthropologie always inspires the imagination

Rock lichen

Gnarly remains

Nestled

The weather outside is chilly...

We woke up to snow falling from the sky...

heavy, wet snow that makes the trees bow...

and break, and crash to the ground....

with a very loud sound...

in my yard this chilly morning.

Gone to seed

Puff ball

When I was a small child I loved to blow on puff balls
and watch the breeze carry the seeds away...
my father was not enthusiastic about this past time
as one seed has the potential to create
200 new dandelion plants.

peek-a-boo

This little guy was making a chirping noise
before he peeked out of his hole.
I thought it was a bird until I realized
the song was beneath my feet.

Metal grave markers

Angel at Mount Olivet

Deer at Mount Olivet Cemetery

The resident deer find safe haven
within the cemetery's borders.

Mount Olivet Cemetery

I love to visit this cemetery...it's so peaceful and beautiful.

Daffodils

I wandered lonely as a Cloud
That floats on high o'er Vales and Hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd
A host of dancing Daffodils...

William Wordsworth
