Glimpses

Winter turned her face away

Glimpses of spring fill her momentary absence

Ominous dark clouds give way

Glimpses of rainbow sky promising beauty in the storm

Enticing the mind to forget that weeks of winter remain

First sprouts of hyacinth bulbs burst from the soggy soil

And daffodil leaves begin to form in anticipation

A glimpse of hope for future spring beauty

A momentary dream of fresh air gradually filling with sunshine and bumblebees

The rain downpours and darkens Daydreams of warm currents of air and that giddiness of spring fever quickly fades

Windswept back into dreary winter

Morning Visitors 

Cool morning breeze lifts the wings of a solitary hawk. On the hunt he flies and suddenly rolls to his left then upright again then rolls left once more as he calls out to his prey and disappears into the horizon never to return. 
Hummingbird flits from branch to branch calling out to his friends who return his chortling, suddenly taking flight to race across the morning sky together and disappear into the horizon only to return. 
Blue jay takes flight from unseen places and appears upon the fence post in complete silence. He hops along the fence until he disappears never to return. 

Seascape Sky

Foamy waves of rolling white billowing clouds tossed by the wind in the endlessly deep ocean sky.  

Fauna and flora rise up beneath the overhead seascape sky creating a forest of abundant lush vegetation teeming with innumerable creatures who fly above rather than swim below. 
The seascape sky is filled with voices of dolphins disguised as hummingbirds, clicking and trilling and singing their giddy songs, dipping and swimming through the vast blue ocean sky. 

Sunset Soup 

Pink tinged curdled clouds pour across the clear blue summer evening. Bright yellow orange yolk of sunshine slips slowly into the salty cauldron of the sea. 
Heavy sultry evening slowly cooled by breezes blowing across the bay as another hot dry summer day puts on a sunset show. 

Morning Revelations

Beachwalk at sunrise. Ocean pulls back its ruffled edges to reveal intricately etched patterns in the sand.
Tide pool reveals a kaleidoscope of soft green and pink anemone, crusty white barnacles, smooth gray clams, and orange and purple starfish clinging to the monolithic Haystack.

Soft silver veils of thinnest clouds reveals morning light over the vast pale sky.

Birds and Bees

Morning 
Sapphire dragon flies join the dance of the hummingbirds quickly turning and twirling and kissing the flowers. 
Intoxicating sweet lavender and crocosmia nectar on their tongues allows an uninhibited show of delightful flight. 
Hovering  overhead in a call for attention to their impassioned dance through the trees and flowers and into the clear blue abyss of morning. 
Evening 
Frenetic honeybees race from bud to bud as half moon rises high in the endless summer sky. 
Streaks of golden sunset clouds run parallel with the horizon.
 The heat of July’s farewell tribute subsides into a still coolness providing relief from the coming heatwave of August. 
The hummingbirds put on their final act of the day scolding one another for taking center stage as one then two then three chase each other into the end of another beautiful day. 

Breathtaking Majesty

Pristine mountaintops covered in brightest white reflecting perfectly in a deep blue lake. 
Emerald and jade forests surrounding crystal clear veins of glacial waterfalls. Hovering bees and tiny birds enjoy the view over the maze of trails. 
A dusty road leads to a high precipice. Still deep pure glacier water hesitates slightly, pausing before becoming torrential rushing waters crashing far below on its constant pull toward the sea. 

Hummingbird Waltz

Hummingbirds waltz in a dizzying series of whirls and twirls — up and over and down and around the pair stays in perfect synchrony. Apart they glide then hover then back together for another frantic dance. 
Red breasted robin marches and hesitates across the dried grass. Watching, waiting, filling her beak with breakfast then chirping her praise.
Rising sun casts long shadows highlighting tree tops and moss and rooftops with early rays. A perfect cerulean sky covering the new day. Still, cool air and heavy moistness of morning dew coats the earth in refreshment. A new day.
