compact and entwined
in each living Spring
are Life’s splendid creatures
majestic living things
like a chrysalis patiently waiting
to joyfully unfold
Spring has books of living stories
waiting to be told
from nothing comes something
it arrives every year
few love it enough
the Treasure is near

My Blog primarily consists of close-up nature photos (that I've taken locally) combined with original holistic-truth oriented prose and/or poetry involving mindfulness/awareness. I love nature and I love understanding the whole (not merely the parts and the details). I'm a retired teacher of the multiply handicapped.
I have a number of interesting hobbies, such as fossil collecting, sport-kite flying, 3D and 2D close-up photography, holography, and pets. Most of all, I am into holistic self-awareness, spontaneous insight, unconventional observation/direct perception, mindfulness, meditation, world peace, non-fragmentation, population control, vegetarianism, and green energy.

wonderful poem and photo, Thomas
Thanks, Mitza! I wrote it quickly last night.
Lovely on all points
Thanks much, Jude! Spring is very special to me (and to a lot of us)!
(Your snowy, windy, cold weather will blossom into Spring.)
How on Earth did you get this amazing photo? Such tiny little lives, hardly begun 🙂
Spring always surprises me, especially in the northern hemisphere, when suddenly everything starts bursting forth, often right out of the snow! Your poem and photo certainly capture that magic 🙂
Thanks so much! I love the very long (emerging) down feathering on these! I’m sure it is to help protect against mosquitoes and other insects (and helps with the cold to a small extent). The parents were never gone long from the nest.
Yes, they are long down feathers – I was studying the photo for a long time trying to make out what was what 🙂 I think feathers are an amazing ‘invention’.
Nature is amazing. 🙂
It sure is, Laura. Way more amazing than you and i will ever know! 🙂
I found some baby mockingbirds one time right by our sidewalk in a shrub. I took a few pics and the next day the mom moved them. I was so upset. Nice capture Thomas.
