little pieces of wonder


I've been noticing the energy in nature - a sort of quickened pace to store, save, prepare. As they drop their leaves (what a marvelous sound in the forest!!) from so very high up, the tall, lanky trees seem to be "tucking in", getting ready. I thought about a nesting energy this week... it's coming out in my work, too - it feels very powerful. The squirrels, the rodents, the frogs, even the fish - everyone is preparing, a little furiously, as the cool wind whips at them. And what a time of rich, intense colors. The bounty of the garden may have passed, but nature's hues and textures are soooooo bountiful, it's such a feast for the eyes.


What are you noticing around you this week?

  2. Thanks for stopping by, Sue :) The colors are incredible here, that is for sure. Although I'm not sure you'd want to be here today - it was -5 overnight and supposed to snow/rain tomorrow.... :)
