Things of the Ground

The ground is the ground is the ground so right
Our footsteps tread its sturdy might
Trees, flowers, grain.......they form must take
As seeds their destiny do make

The little ground collage scene in the above photo jumped to my attention the other day. It was amazing how many colors were hugging this exposed tree root within the differing textures of the grass, moss, lichen, old pine needles, tree bark, dried leaves, and tiny sticks.

Then unfortunately, from that tiny spot of gaily decorated ground, we look yonder below and see the huge contrasting messy mud patch out in the field. Its still going to be awhile before any tractors dare drive in there.


Have a colorful Saturday!!

Rain, rain, some snow, and more rain!! I feel like I am looking out my window when I see this photo!! I guess I am not all that far away from you - maybe 3 hours or so - compared to most people on these blogs!! Nice to have visit the blog of an Iowa person!!

I really liked the picture of the meadowlark!!! Very good!! He is my favorite bird, by far!
