Intimate and Vast Montana

an intimate view

teeny tiny little kinnikinnick flowers

like fairy lanterns scattered amongst the forest floor

a vast Montana view

wild apple blossoms grace our trees

at their crowns

trees grow

some nights still freeze

bird bath water

Beltane 2014

we are

halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice

 

flowers raise their lovely faces

to the sun

cloaked in leaves

glacier lilies breathe

 

until the perfect moment to bloom

 

flower season has JUST begun

it amazes me

to find tiny succulents

that have lived beneath winter's snow

I am still in love

with the new buds on the tops of fir trees
