Spring Inspiration

Buds starting to form on tree branches

Vernal pond.

Maianthemum dilatatum- false lily of the valley starting to poke up here, there and everywhere.

Amazing how nature can revive and grow after being broken down: Tree sprouting branches after being broken off at the top.

I love birch trees, I love the bark, the textures, the colors...

New growth. Fresh young, green branches sprouting buds.

Lichens on a boulder.

Old turkey tail mushrooms on a log.

More turkey tails, past their prime and with moss starting to take over, on a fallen log.

More happy dog!!! Oh Margi, you are so cute!

Close up of little buds on a delicate branch.

More delicate buds on thin branches, beautiful green from pine boughs in the background.

It is only a matter of time before these green buds burst open into foliage!

I love the texture through the lens of these thin branches all layered together.

It is like a sigh of relief seeing buds and green!

Wild raspberry cane with leaves tightly bound in bud form... For now.


It is a sigh of relief to finally see things brightening and budding in the woods.
I had to look hard and focus on the details to see the signs (other than abundant birdsong, of course), but the signs are all there! And although this cold never seems to end, you can see that spring is most definitely here!!!

What are your favorite things about spring?

(p.s. Today is the last day to save on the new Little Owl pants. Pre-order ends tonight!)

The Right Path








I was outside on the deck doing some dyeing and noticed all the beautiful colors of fallen leaves scattered everywhere. I had to take a minute to do a mini photo shoot.

I love how I can be inspired by the every-dayness of what is around me.
I am a reflection of my environment.
My work is a reflection of my environment.
I find myself dressed in complimentary colors to the weather and environment outside
and continuously in awe of how beautiful nature is.
It never gets old.

I am loving every day with our new puppy.
I love all our pups, to be honest.
I am happiest when surrounded by animals, especially dogs.
They have a way of connecting, of understanding and are full of unconditional love.
I am inspired by this.

I feel like I am on the right path, a path that is leading me, not fighting me.
I have to work hard, but in an indescribable way it is easy.
I am/we are working towards the life we want, manifesting.

Let the flow continue...

There seems to be a lot of transitions going on in my life.
There is a lot of old moving out and new moving in....
It makes me unsettled, but happy.

I am working on learning to calm my mind,
letting myself be unburdened.
Life is too short to be so serious all the time.

I am not much of one for New Years,
but maybe some resolutions are in order this year.
They will only be between me and myself,
but they will be set, none the less.

Today I am inspired by:

(I think this might be the most beautiful blog that I have seen this year!)

(again, a most beautiful site!)

Do you have any resolutions in mind for this year?

nature, form, color, texture...
These are some of the things pulling at my heart strings today.
The richness of a simple life,
feeling fall in my core.

What is inspiring you today?
