Nature's Treasure

Sometimes, just for an instant
A sparkling jewel falls
From Nature's treasure chest
Into consciousness -
Memory's trove of fleeting riches

A River of Stones

  2. You describe those precious moments when memory hands us as gift so beautifully Barb. I love your words, - when did I last use 'trove'?

  8. You have hearty eyes to the nature.
    There is something tender and begging to be photographed in your words, everywhere.

  14. Oh, this is gorgeous. I will have to memorize it so I can carry the words with me on my daily walks. I can think of so many jewels from yesterday -- for example, reaching the birch trees at one of the seawall parks just as the late afternoon sun illuminated the bark.

    Thank you for visiting my blog yesterday -- so I could now follow you. Oh, I see a quote from John Muir in your sidebar -- well, I think your blog has just become another small stone in my Saturday.
