a glimpse

I walked outside today as the sun came out

and called to me.

So with camera in hand I observed my yard

and I found a world I wouldn't normally see,

unless I 'digitally focused' my eyes

to see the small, humble happenings in nature.

Most often I detest moss as it is everywhere...

and has taken host to most of our lawn.

But looking at it through the eyes of beauty

and not through the eyes of the 'to do' list maker,

I see the most beautiful design, color and texture

that is so often ignored.

And these fir branches came down in a storm

weeks ago and

are still waiting to be picked up and discarded

(again there is that 'to do' list) ,

not expecting someone to notice their beauty.

I can't think of a lovelier color combo

than lichen and moss...

and new birth happening right before me

and I was unaware.

Even the chives are reaching to the heavens!

Heaven and nature sing indeed!
