Upon the nervous dawn of school
I'd often close my eyes
And see an apple paradise
That still I see sometimes
A lonely path stood empty near
A sturdy fence of board
It led to the horizon whence
A warmth of brilliance poured.
The apple trees around me stood
Upon a lawn of green
And nothing stirred or moved them in
The absolute serene.
And still today it beckons me
To come and walk that road
To find what lies beyond it where
The peace and apples glowed.
Blue Marble Jar
This empty jar had an unusual appeal, and is the second one I've filled with glass pieces as a thing of beauty.
Icicles
Winter icicles hung from a possible cave entrance that trickles water year round.
Butterfly on the Lilacs
The lilacs came from the store complete with free bonus butterflies!
Creek Rock Wall
Water trickles from the top of a four foot wall of rock alongside the creek bed.
Wild Violets
They speak for themselves.
Odd Storm Cloud
It built up menacingly over the lake, but then moved on without a sound.
A Friendly Turtle
He makes enough noise to be an animal four times his size as he plods through the brush and leaves.
Fossils
I found these on various nature hikes. I have identified them (hopefully correctly) as a petrified walnut, hickory nut, bird's egg, mushroom button, and snail.
Petrified Wood
This was found not too far from where the fossils were found.
Two Young Pines
Morning Sky
Juniper Tree
Spruce Tree
Sunrise
Woodland Path
Morning Clouds
Sun Setting Over the Lake
Birds in Flight
Vultures with a quiet, graceful glide.
