Darwin's Walk, Wentworth Falls
Words to walk with:
From Lichen, Moss, Fungus by Judith Wright
"bracket, star, cup, parasol,
gilled, pored, spored, membraned,
white, chestnut, violet, red ...
there spreads an embroidery, ancient
source of the forests."
I'm reeling from all those mental images, the poem amid the images is faultless.
ReplyDeleteSeeing the beauty of small things is a gift.
ReplyDeleteThe second photo is superb and as usally I like words:)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
The lichen is very much as though embroidered. That appears to be a spider's web in the second image, around a cocoon of some sort. All extremely delicate ...
ReplyDeleteYou’ve captured all the greens and greys, and textures with a lovely light touch. As Julie says, extremely delicate.
ReplyDeletedear joan elizabeth,
ReplyDeletei love how creepy moss and lichen can so
beautifully weave throughout the tree.
your sweet comment on my letters blessed
me, because i have worried sometimes that
i am like the pesky little kid who follows
behind the cool one at school. gleaning.
blessings,
lea
These 'mini-gardens' deserve lots of attention! There is always so much to see.
