Into an Alpine Forest

in this my vivid dream.
Fall Equinox - September 22, 2024
• 09/22/24 at 02:36AM •There are only two moments each year when the Sun lies directly above Earth’s equator. These moments are the equinoxes, when, at any location, the lengths of day and night are roughly equal. The March equinox happens sometime between March 19 and 21. The September equinox occurs sometime between September 21 and 24.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the March equinox marks the beginning of Spring and the September equinox the beginning of Fall. The reverse takes place in the Southern Hemisphere.
Wind

across meadow and plain.
Rushing through as if
a Midnight train.
Carrying dirt and debris,
across the valley. where you be.
bringing your love,
home to me.
"In the last 10 years, Herasimtschuk has photographed forests across the Pacific Northwest, documenting the inhabitants of these last remaining old-growth ecosystems. From salamanders and salmon to bears and mountain lions, his images illustrate not only the beauty of the forests and their creatures but the symbiotic relationships which are vital to the forests’ health and the planet’s welfare" More at NPR ➜
Water to Rainbows
• 09/14/24 at 03:34PM •Water spray to Rainbows,
coming in the fall.
A most pleasant display,
and that isn't all.
For Nature, in its wonder,
will never get old.
At least those are the words
I have been told.
It Was Early
• 09/11/24 at 10:53PM •It was early, one evening,
When I heard a strange call,
echoing from the tree line,
then off the garden wall.
A sound, I can't seem to recall,
except it was a strange tune.
It was the sound of a waterfowl,
a solitary, well crazy old Loon.
A Garden Pathway
• 09/10/24 at 08:00PM •A garden pathway,
as I pass,
seeing flowers, lovely,
as if made of glass.
Colors radiate,
as an outward beam.
A beautiful setting,
so very serene.
Tucked away,
inboxes tall,
for your eyes to see,
that isn't all.
A Melodic Change
• 09/07/24 at 01:53PM •A melodic change
of events occurred,
when the songs,
of a bird were heard.
Heard by everyone.
one and all,
mostly in the spring,
but now in the fall.
Such a sound,
I will always hear,
when in the yard
and the birds were near.
