i'm back ~

Exultation is the going
of an inland soul to sea,
Past the houses --past the headlands--
Into deep Eternity --

Bred as we, among the mountains,
Can the sailor understand,
The divine intoxication
Of the first league out from land?

-Emily Dickinson

oh and before i go ~

many blessings for the summer solstice.

i'll be back in a week or so ~

going to a place where there ain't no internet. imagine...that.

momma grackle ~

looks a bit worn out from feeding her oversized baby...they flew into our back yard picking at the grass for the remaining seeds i had scattered earlier...

sitting on the fence ~

cliffside ~

step into the magic ~

a time to speak and a time to listen ~

i don't know ~

Lisa Hannigan ~ I Don't Know

after the rain come the puddles ~

fairy hats ~

yellow warbler ~

touch ~

solitary ~

can you see the white heart? ~

temple ~

new growth ~

one rose and two buttercups ~

other kingdoms ~

along the shore ~

riding shotgun with sophie ~

today ~
