The trees are alive
With joyous sound of bird song
Nesting in progress.

The trees are alive
With joyous sound of bird song
Nesting in progress.

Trees put on big show
Winter gray to bright green leaves
Woods are thick with growth.

Sweet beginings, nest
Then eggs in soft mother’s down
Chicks with open beaks.

They announce springtime
Beautiful woven nests
Eggs are “Robin Blue.”

Along wooded trails
Spring ephemerals stand up
And the crowd goes wild.
These tiny stars of springs show are here a short time. Go out and seek them.

Sat out in pasture
Just an observer of peace
Part of grazing herd.

Just then a white flake
Gentle in the woods, quiet
Now soft fallen snow.

The blue birds sing spring
Amidst the chaos, nature
Goes on with her way.

A day of hearts comes
Red hearts, chocolate hearts, plain
Hearts say, “I love you.”

Winding path of ice
Footprints in snow lead to creek
Where winter slumbers.
