Faerie Apartments

Old growth wanderings

staying to the posted trail

protects the faerie homes

I LOVE old growth trees! They fascinate me, and exude character and amazing energy as you wander by. This tree, obviously well loved by the forest creatures of all types, stopped me in my tracks. It could be faerie apartments, don’t you think?  Do you see it’s heart?

Faerie Forest

Magical Archway!

Entrance to the forest trail

where we start our hike.

Mossy camouflage!

A hidden faerie entrance

underneath a heart.

Perhaps the faeries 

were showing us their treasure.

Abundant morels!

Lacy faerie moss

all along our woodland trail

There are many lovely treasures among the woodland trails this time of year, moss engulfed branches,  wild morel mushroom, hidden faeries teasing us along the way. Spending time with one you love wandering the woods is indeed magical!

HuMp DaY Haiku – Mossy Stump

On a mossy stump.

Wandering in our wild space

Message calls to me

I’ve had a hard time the past few weeks, too many demands,
too much stress, too little support. And wandering the back “wild space” near
the creek, listening to the birds, I came across this stump, embedded with an
old rusty shovel, showing me a moss heart. Hearts literally jump out at me
from all over. What do you suppose the message is?

I’ve decided I need to take some time away, all by myself,
to think and find out what’s in MY heart. I must let go of the perceived expectations
of others (and myself), and focus on being true to ME.

Note that this week I’m also submitting this post to

And now… back to our  HuMp DaY Haiku!  
I started doing Hump Day Haiku with Carla Sonheim’s Silly classes…  and decided as a challenge for myself, I’d continue.  In this process, I have found that creating a haiku (non rhyming poem with 5 – 7 – 5 syllables per line) feeds my soul. 

I especially like creating them to go with my photos and art.

Moss Heart

Noticing details. 

Moss upon a rocky slope

forms a gentle heart.

Mysteries revealed

 

Shrouded rocks and roots

Natures secret calling me

Mysteries revealed

Sorting through digital photos (while cataloging and trying to make some order from the chaos of months and numbers) I came across these from a trip to Artist Point at Mt Baker. Very cool moss covered rocks and gnarly old tree roots on the road down to Nooksack Falls.

If you look closely you can see faces peeking from the moss. And perhaps you’ll find a heart or two as well. 

Isn’t it fun when nature reveals it’s mysteries?
