Threshold of Summer

June is our rainy month

time of storms

and beautiful skies

a time when life is giving birth

fawns

flowers
wild roses:

Indian paintbrush:

 owlets:

great gray owlet

a lovely time

on the threshold of summer

i paused to consider sharing a story with you

i use this blog as a spirit helper

to remind us that nature has the ability to uplift our spirits

as i paused i thought that intense things in nature are good for us too

they remind us of what is real

teaching us respect and awareness:

three black bears hunted in my yard recently

a mamma and her two large cubs

 i heard the bleating of a fawn....

 

it was entirely dramatic in 

motion and sound

as i could hear them growling, grunting and chomping their feast

one bear climbed up and down a cottonwood tree 

with ease

they might have caught the fawn's scent as they wandered

or the protective mothers scent

the mother deer was entirely distraught

my heart went out to her

I have been looking at humanized bears in art in a different way 

this week

but

we all eat

and something must die for this to happen

so it is simply real

bears are seriously strong and wild creatures

i most certainly witnessed this
and living in the wilds of Montana
is indeed wild
