as the birds flew over
the thick forest
looking down and among the trees
they spied
a wee fairy bathing
in her mushroom pool
my ponds have been frozen all winter
today i spied
5 of the 6 koi where fresh water enters the pond
their entire life is about
forest bathing
bathing under the canopy of trees
bathing in the water at the ankles of the forest
amazing how they slow down
basically meditate
for winter
Thank you Veronica

ReplyDeletehope you have a lovely day.
the first winter I wondered about the fish, actually every winter i do.
Deletethey offer a glimpse once in a while as they come to the surface and light.
this is their 4th winter.
Hello, fish! Welcome back to the world! And what a bright spot of color you bring us. Your first image reminds me of lots of labyrinths together. Of course it isn't but still, what a lovely thought!
ReplyDeletecharming, lovely :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work and wise words - nature gives us good examples, we need perhaps to get in tune more with the seasons. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI like sour pictures so much, especially the first one...it´s like you could dive in ...

ReplyDeleteWonderful paintings! Amazing little fish! Bathing in a mushroom….. adorable!
ReplyDeleteOh that's charming! Those fish! I remember my grandmother had a tiny garden pond with tiny goldfish which froze in winter and those fish were just fine come spring. Amazing creatures.
ReplyDeleteit's always nice to see your fairytale approach of the dc! - eric
ReplyDeletewhy yes, what an unexpected way to look at forest bathing... the poor koi, still surviving though, always moving to spots where they can... i like your circles alot too. i'd love that bird's eye view to see for myself, actually..
ReplyDeletenow, if you feel like playing along on our next DC, check out here and see you next weekend! n♥
your view of the forest is beautiful
ReplyDeleteTammie, I love your drawing of the sweet little fairy in her bathtub! I'm also amazed that those koi can survive out there in those cold winters you have. Magic is everywhere!
ReplyDeleteI love the first painting!
ReplyDeleteAnd this theme is made for you, right?
So nice!
