Not a leaf in sight but new buds & blossoms everyday!
Every season sings its own personal song —
from the eloquent watercolors of spring to the harmony of early summer bees & blossoms through the golden glowing essence of Autumn into the naked landscapes cloaked in white during Winter.
Regardless of the season all it takes is...
Just One Look
Just one look toward the far horizon
Captures an expanse beyond words
Limitless possibilities exist
Disturbed only by joyous birds
The sky, land and water connect
With discriminate attitudes
Ever present, ever changing
Dependent upon nature’s moods
Glory in the springtime
Initiates visions without stopping
Greening hills, warming sun
Buds erupting and wildflowers popping
Family time summer excursions
End with strolls along the sandy beaches
Rising and falling blue-green sea foam
Occasionally unveils sea conches
A winding road in autumn
Demands a stop along the way
Gazing toward the earth’s edge
Reveals a breathless close of day
Snow-capped mountains of winter
Stand majestic out of reach
Valleys through which rivers run
Grant swift passages of each
Just one look upward and outward
Spans a view altogether incredible
Senses emotionally enhanced
Emerge surprised and totally audible!

Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of each.
—Henry David Thoreau (American author, poet, & philosopher, 1817–1862)

Watch this second video to get the true perspective of the eagle!
Love this, Sharla!
I want to be an eagle in my next life!
Wasn’t that awesome! Yes, an Eagle would be awesome 🙂
