Amazing Trees

 

The last leaves hang on

In anticipation of winter flurries

The trees will hibernate in the howling wind

and freezing temperatures

Living in anticipation of spring and rebirth

So many things a tree has seen

Standing rooted deep in the earth

and rising up to the stars

Feeling the power of nature in its greatest moments

When we huddle inside

The tree stands in its earth grounded to mother nature

Waiting for the next season and the gradual rebirth

of leaves and fruit

Always the home to birds, squirrels and bugs

and sometimes home to forts and children's playhouses

Always protection for us from harsh sunlight and rains

The trees are here holding the earth together with roots so deep

So deep in the earth

Can you imagine what they have seen above and below

Let us pay homage to the trees

May we protect them for generations to come

 

Crystal Meditations

I have been placing a couple of crystals by this tree by the Seine River. I leave them for a week.
This tree I've picked for its meditative qualities. It receives lots of sunlight, moonlight and
and starlight that will energize the crystals and by leaving them there I will also receive
crystal energy from them. I find crystals very helpful while meditating. They help with
keeping positive energy and happy thoughts. As I am daydreaming I can imagine what these crystals
by this beautiful tree by the river are seeing and feeling.
Happy meditating.

A painting I did awhile ago and an image of a Monarch butterfly from the summer.
Some warm images for this cold October day while snow is trying to fly. May you bask in the  warmth of these images and reflect on the beauty of nature and our surroundings.

Mother Dear and Baby

Mother nature is wonderful. This mother deer and her two babies came into my
 yard the other day. The mother was eating bird seed and the baby was drinking milk
I am so lucky to be able to look out my window and see these wonders of nature.
I hope these urban deer can be protected as we infringe on their habitat.

Number one post

Good Morning. Welcome to my new blog Nature Meditations.
I will post a nature photo each day and you will be able to share with me the wonders of nature I find very close to my home. The world is filled to capacity with so much electronics and power consumed gadgets so it is nice to be able to find a serene corner of the world to escape to and meditate in the calmness of nature.
I welcome you to my sight here in cyber space. Which is a part of this highly electronic based society but is an integral way for millions of people to stay in tune with the globe.
and the peaceful places we carve out a section of peace and serenity.
