A golden-hour landscape showing a still pond reflecting dramatic pink and orange clouds, with green hills, palm trees, and a suburban home in the background. A white egret stands near the water's edge.

Caught a great egret and a perfect reflection at golden hour. Days like this. ๐ฆข

In the time it took to half-heal
she stepped into acceptance
the rest, a few yesterdays ago
as for todays and tomorrows
who knows, tales and shivers
hope and heat, half complete

I know I heard footsteps
though no-one was there
it usually happened
on a full moon
when the world turned pale

..i think 'how do i want to be remembered?'
is something we should ask daily..
every letter written matters:
it's 'scared' or 'sacred'
every snub instead of love.. says a lot..
actually i think 'how we will be remembered'..
'is'.. who we are today..
we all likely can do better..

i'm forever a wild heart seeking 'the great perhaps'..
in an increasingly confusing world..
learning there're times for holding on..
& letting go..
but not in a cliche way..
just at some point..
we have to undo what we knew..
or risk being stuck when we're meant to grow..

It's fun to walk through twists and turns. I like to touch nature and feel the energy, hands to soil and soul to earth. It reminds me I am doing okay, that life is beautiful even when grey.

A small owl perched on a bare branch, silhouetted against a glowing moonlit sky, shot from below in near-total darkness. Rim lighting traces the bird's puffed-up outline against a warm halo of moonlight.
Moonwatcher
Pitch dark, the moon kept its own secrets. This one gave one up.

A flock of black crows perched and landing in the upper canopy of a budding spring tree, silhouetted against a pale blue dusk sky. One bird is caught mid-flight on the left edge with wings spread.
Dusk Parliament
Every evening they return. Something ancient about that.

Six a.m.
Monday morning
I vowed to not look
at my reflection
ever again
easier that way
the little girl
isn't visible
in the mirror
over sensitive
they call her
some people
only see you
as the reaction
you give
to their malice
step away
from the glass

I would be a bird
no doubt in mind
possibly a swift
I didn't read
the small print
in the blue print
when I signed
the dotted line
to be reincarnated
as a human

The gentle reach of hope, doubt may last forever but nature shows otherwise. Life always finds a way. Delicate the mind, heart and soul, as is the blossoming leaf and yet...life always finds a way. Least this is what I say to myself when doom wakes up cradling gloom.

Sunlight paints the petals bright
Flowers dance in the holy light
With blossoms open they face the sky
A silent hymn as moments fly by.

Portrait orientation photograph of a fog-covered oak woodland hillside. A diffuse sun glows softly through dense fog at the top of the frame. Dark, richly detailed oak trees fill the foreground, with ghostly silhouettes of trees dissolving into mist in the middle distance

A small sanderling shorebird in winter plumage stands at the shoreline where wet sand meets calm, rippled water, with its black bill pointed downward as it forages
A sanderling works the shoreline in search of its next meal

It looked like a painting, I said to shadow. Then again, perception is personal, I guess. Where one sees a painting, others shall see a story. Perception is not always everything, said delicate trees.

Old photos
she was me
or was she
so many tragedies
broke the lock
the key that replaced
fits albeit jagged
maybe her time
isn't over yet
