Intimate With Nature; Water

Image "Little water falls and moss"
July Mountain Stream....
So hot and dry above the trees lining the stream, yet it is cool,shady and quiet under the canopy of the trees. I sit on a large mossy rock in the middle of the stream bed. A stream where just a few months ago, after spring rains and winters melting snows, the stream swelled, roared. And sent snaking down the mountain, thundering torrents and waves of black water. Massive gray boulders in place and embedded for a million years, are rolled down the mountain by this mighty rush of water, like a little childs marbles. Large trees whose roots had clung to the stones along the streams banks, lose their grip and are shredded like kindling. Now, there is just a gentle whisper, a hint of water trickling on the rocks below. A green maple leaf, winds it's way down the streams narrow path, and a tree sparrow is singing in the trees nearby.

Tree of Life

The lonely twisted tree survives precariously on the very edge of the canyon walls. Wintry blasts and summers scorching heat, have yet to reduce it to cinders. It's roots have patiently dug deep into the rock and sand, as it hangs on with a deaths grip, to the canyons edge. It's scant limbs and sparse needles, always reaching to embrace the sun.

Evenings Blanket 3

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore — While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. "'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door — Only this and nothing more." ~The Raven, Edgar Allen Poe
