A little over a week ago, I went hiking on the Perkiomen Watershed Association headquarter's land. With two exceptions, these pictures were taken from the meadow area a little distance from the East Branch of the Perkiomen Creek. In a later post, I will show some photos from within the wooded area along the Creek.
These wildflowers seem to grow in both meadow and forest.
The shape of the petals of this blossom draws me.
These wildflowers were located in a woods very near the meadow.
Some common yellow wildflowers
Some beautiful daisies
A buttercup flower
A catapiller that does a lot of damage to trees yet beautiful
My main blog: Ramblings generally focuses on telling a story via photography and words. These stories generally center around family, nature, and church although sometimes just about life in general. I also have a blog entitled Fingerprints. I post less frequently in Fingerprints. It serves as a catch all of anything that does not go in my Ramblings blog including memes, quizzes, and reports on books and movies.
The road awaits
Time doesn't
The road beckons
Time steps forward
Will we move
In step with time?
Will we step forward
Shaping our time?
Will we take time
To see the present?
Will we explore the past
And understand our heritage?
Will we laugh?
Will we wonder?
Will we touch?
Will we feel?
Time flies on
We have choices
Shall we go fast?
Shall we go slow?
We shall go forward
But we will choose the pace
We may dance with all our heart
Or bathe ourselves in a setting sun

A meadow of beautiful wildflowers. Nice shots Tim.
How was Riverdance?
Thanks, photowannabe. Riverdance was wonderful. Skilled performers and musicians.
I really love little white flowers - great pictures! And the caterpillar is a little bugger, but also adorable :)
You certainly have some beautiful places to explore.
When I was a kid, we used to touch the buttercups to our noses and turn our noses yellow with pollen.
Nice photos as always!
As always, indeed, Tim. So glad you keep your hand in Nature!
Thanks, mikaela. Glad you enjoyed them!
Thanks, jam. We used to do that with dandelion flowers.
Thanks, sage.
Thanks, ginnie. Times are busy for both me and my fiancée. But I still need to spend some time in nature.
Neat pictures.....
The moon is gone.
She fled as dawn approached.
Dawn as a slowly opening eye.
White sea birds skimming over the water,
looking for an early morning snack.
The mirror brightens.
From a blood moon at dawn to a mirror
reflecting waking life...

I woke her to take the moon.
Her campaign was swift and terrible.
Metallic and fierce.
Glaring up in the twilight.
But the moon was both implacable and unreachable
and in the end the war against the moon failed.
As dawn rose slowly from her bed, the moon slipped away.
But in the end, all that was lost,
was a little sleep....

After the storm, my mine cleared.
And a high wind arose and blew the tropics north.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
running quartz crystals through a blender.
sand through your engines.
bubble in your bays.
estuaries reaching out toward forbidden seas...
sand through your eyes.

Calm as baby's breath
as peaceful as the storm's eye
Clouds spread and drawn with rough strokes of stratospheric winds
a warm and windy tropical day.
