Wild Weekly Photo Challenge – Camouflage

 Cedar Waxwings are beautiful birds 

who visit my ancient orchard in every season.  

 They are of such a colour that they are hidden quite well 

even when there are no leaves on the trees.

Wild Weekly Photo Challenge – The Forest

Their are many treasures to be found on the forest floor.  

Mushrooms provide food for forest animals and opportunities for photographers.

Many like the seacoast or take their delight in the mountains.

I like those places too but there is no place I would rather be than the forest.

Wild Weekly Photo Challenge – The Beach

Whether you want to walk along a sandy shore

 Or sit and gaze as it's wonders

A beach to explore is easy to find

 on Prince Edward Island.

 Imagine you're on a desert island

With permission to explore

 You can let yourself go or

Dance like no one is watching.

 

When our ancestors crawled from the ocean 

they happened upon the beach and have since yearned 

to return to this edge of the world.

Wild Weekly Photo Challenge – Clouds

Clouds can be  inconsequential or downright dangerous. 

Filling the sky with fluffy floaters and wisps 

or with snow, rain, hail or rainbows, 

the clouds above us, 

along with other factors of course, 

control our days. 

Each of these shots is from the same viewpoint.  

It is right outside my back door.

Each day I open the door and look up at the clouds.

I marvel at their beauty.

My grandmother told me that even as a small child 

I had her look up into the sky while I described the clouds to her.

Clouds have been a life-long fascination.

For a little music to accompany your day, here is Joni Mitchell.  

She looks at clouds too.

“Wild Weekly Photo Challenge – Reflections”

Living on an island like I do, you are never far from water

 and water is a vital part of having reflections.

Water and sunshine combine to create doubles in our natural world, 

doubling our opportunities for enjoyment.

“Wild Weekly Photo Challenge – Spring!”

 The first thing that comes to mind when I think of spring is the land.

  I can dig in my gardens and farmers can at last,  get out to their fields.

 The bright colours of dandelions, daffodils and tulips are so cherished 

after the dull tones of the recently passed winter.

 Bees are as happy as we are to feel the warmth of the sun. 

We all get down to business!

Spring is a busy time for everyone but it is enjoyed universally for it's promise of new life and growth.  

We feel spring's warmth and moisture and with certain joy, watch everything come alive again.

Come on, Spring.  Unfurl!
