A small constellation of autumn leaves
shimmers in the evergreen. 🍂🌲✨

#PoetryOfNature #FallColors #AutumnVibes #Fall #AutumnSpice

A small deciduous tree with peach, coral pink, and golden autumn leaves glows against a dense backdrop of deep green evergreen branches. The colorful foliage spreads across the center of the photograph, partially veiled by overlapping conifer boughs. Dark woodland shadows deepen the contrast, while dry grasses line the bottom edge. The bright leaves look like a little autumn constellation sheltered within the evergreen forest.

One leaf blazes softly in the dark.

The world always makes beauty out of letting go. 🍁

A delicate pink Japanese maple leaf spreads like a small flame across a bed of fallen leaves. Its finely cut, fingerlike lobes glow in shades of rose, coral, and pale gold against the deep blue-green, charcoal, and muted olive tones of the darker leaves beneath it. Thin brown stems cross the layered background, creating an intricate woodland pattern. The vivid leaf stands out in the center of the photograph, illuminated against the shadowy autumn colors.

Autumn becomes a kind of prayer.🍁🍃🍂

#PoetryOfNature #OctoberIsMyFavoriteColor

A sunlit autumn roadside beneath a clear, brilliant blue sky. The road curves right into the distance, bordered by a gravel shoulder and dry golden grasses. Along the right side, trees and shrubs display vivid fall colors, including brilliant scarlet and crimson foliage, deep evergreen branches, and luminous yellow-green leaves. Utility poles and several overhead wires lace the sky above the trees.

I grew this little maple grove from wild seeds I gathered and nurtured. 🍁

Years later, it gives back beauty beyond measure.

Plant trees. Give the future a place to take root.

A close-up of overlapping maple leaves in vivid autumn colors, ranging from coral pink and scarlet to dusty rose and muted orange, with touches of green still showing along some veins and leaf edges. A large, five-pointed burgundy vine maple leaf fills the center foreground, its branching veins clearly visible. Other vine and Douglas maple leaves overlap behind it in soft focus, interspersed with slender green pearly everlasting leaves. The layered foliage creates a rich tapestry of autumn color.

In the garden, peace takes wing without moving. 🕊️

#FlyDay #BirdOfTheDay #GardenBirds #MourningDove #PoetryOfNature

A Mourning Dove snoozes among dry, straw-colored garden grasses and scattered reddish-brown fallen leaves. Its eyes are closed, and its feathers are softly fluffed. The bird's warm brown head and breast contrast with the blue-gray feathers across its back and wings, which are marked with dark spots. A small gray stone lies on the ground in front of the bird.

Reflections🍁 
Gazing inward
a mirror greets me

reflecting my depths

#PoetryOfNature #Poetry #NaturePoetry #Senryu #poetography #Reflections #ImageAndVerse

A still forest lake reflects green conifers, a brilliant golden autumn tree, and a wooden dock. A blue slide rises from the dock and appears to create a pathway into the softly mirrored landscape. The water is dark and calm, with the autumn colors glowing in its reflection.

Not every supermodel gets a spotlight. Some just show up at the bird bath, spread their wings, and work the runway. 🕊️✨

A mourning dove poses on the lip of a bird bath with its wings up and body lifted onto its pink toes, looking remarkably like a supermodel strutting down a runway. Young mourning doves perch on either side of the bird bath, watching the performance. 🕊️

Soft shelter beneath the huckleberry thicket. Mourning Doves sleep through a snowstorm. 🕊️❄️

#BirdOfTheDay #BadWeather #MourningDove #BirdsOfBluesky #BirdPhotography #PoetryOfNature

A pair of Mourning Doves sit nestled together beneath a huckleberry thicket during a snowstorm. Their feathers are fluffed against the cold, and both birds have their eyes closed as they rest on the snow-covered ground. Snow blankets the foreground, with fallen leaves, twigs, and green foliage visible beneath the thicket behind them.

Wings open, not flying.

Just a little mourning dove being a little more dove. 🩶🕊️

#Stunday #BirdOfTheDay #WingsOpenNotFlying #Blue #mourningdove #PoetryOfNature

A mourning dove perches on the edge of a shallow, pebble-lined birdbath with its wings spread wide. Its soft blue-grey feathers are fluffed against the cool autumn air, and it looks calmly to the left. The background is softly blurred grasses and foliage.

A fluffy black-and-white cowcat named Drew sits on a sunlit porch, looking directly at the camera with striking green eyes. His long, soft fur frames his face and chest, giving him an especially magnificent, chonky appearance.

#FlyDay We have lift off. 🕊️

#PoetryOfNature #Wings #BirdPhotography #NaturePoetry #MourningDove

A mourning dove takes flight from the edge of a shallow birdbath, both feet barely touching the stone as it lifts into flight. Its wings are spread wide, showing layered gray-blue feathers, while its head turns slightly toward the camera. Water glistens among the smooth stones below, with a softly blurred green and brown woodland background behind it.

Winter’s breath appeared upon my window today. 🌬️
 Autumn has quietly crossed another threshold.🍁🍂

Close-up photograph of water beads texturing a windowpane, transforming the landscape beyond into Monet like patterns of icy blue, warm gold, deep green, and soft gray. A poem in appears lower-left of center: “Winter paints / first beads / of light / along my / window pane.”

Yesterday, at Dance to Heal the Earth, a 360° sun halo appeared and stayed for hours. 🌞🌈

We drummed. We sang. We danced. We witnessed.

It was a magical day. ✨

#StunDay #DanceToHealTheEarth #PoetryOfNature #SunHalo #EarthMagic

A brilliant 360° sun halo forms a luminous circle around the sun above Dance to Heal the Earth. High, thin clouds filled with ice crystals bent the sunlight into the ring—a beautiful atmospheric phenomenon that can encircle the sun completely.

Wishing you all a beautiful,
reverent autumn. 🍂 May we be mindful
of what this season
has to teach us.🍁

With love from NanLeah & Sasquatch. 🐿️

#PoetryOfNature #Autumn #NatureLovers #Squirrels #Reverence

A close portrait of Sasquatch, a gray squirrel, sitting upright on a pebble-covered birdbath. He faces to the right, his paws nestled gently against his chest. His large dark eye reflects the light, while silver-gray, brown, and white fur catches the detail of his face, chest, and shoulders. Soft green woodland surrounds him in the blurred background.

Some frogs seek the pond.

Some seek the stream.

This frog has chosen the luxury spa at the bottom of a flower pot. 🐸💧

I respect the commitment.

Mama scratches her ear.

“Come on over here and I’ll do that for you.”

And she did.

Some invitations are answered with such grace. 🦌☀️
