Shades of golden light reflecting the morning Sun on waters.
A winged traveller drifts gently, resting from their journey south.
Ripples on the surface now reaching out to the world beyond.
Ripples on the Surface
Ducks
Ever Watchful
Ever watchful of the happenings of the world around you.
Meditating on decisions made and consequences felt.
Stilling the mind and seeking peace within, what more can be done?
Palette of Nature
A watery mirror reflecting colours vibrant and bold.
Nature's palette on display for the artist in you and I.
What do you see in the moment of connection to all things?

Artistic Design
An old tree, long since left without life, rests alone in Mud Lake.
One morning a bird of colourful palette sits sleepily.
What artist created the colours on this handsome fellow?
Among the Ferns
Found in a forest of ferns, a winged being of the water.
Neither fleeing by flight or foot, she waits and watches still.
What confluence of events has taken place to arrive here?
Mallard Morning
Slowly drifting near shore on a bright Autumn morning at dawn.
The cold morning air a reminder you will soon be leaving.
On this morning, you forget tomorrow and enjoy today.
Power Unseen
That which can be seen looks to be calm, serene, and effortless.
However, beneath the surface, a strong power is residing.
You’re watching and waiting for the perfect time to fly away.
Seasonal Change
Falling snow a gentle reminder of the changing season.
Should we remain a little longer or make the journey South?
We should remain at least for today and wait for tomorrow.
