Dry Lightening

.
.
I am here
like a vapor
Like mist
But I am dry
I am smoke
I sparkle static
Over quaking earth
Hummock insecure
Stomp dancing
Bears send
Percussive shivers
Shells rattle
Each step
Soon filled
Nearby the
Peat burns
The pines burn
Hot I burn
Lightening fire
Dry storm ignited
Lifting billows
Of smoke visible
One hundred miles
I follow the smoke
I have become smoke
My dreams
My strength
My prayers
My devils
Myself destroyed
The smoldering air
Crackles
To merge with
Electric clouds
Arching sky synapse
Of no rain
St. Elmo’s fire
Is purple blue
The air is green
I was a tree
Now I am brown
Smoke rising
Drifting I
See my mother
Behind the
Rainless clouds
A rainbow speaks
Promising
Not by water
But by fire
Thunderbird
Is flying

Walk In The Woods With Bear

 

 

Driveway to the house. With plenty of rain this summer the vegetation is thick. July 2013 Bear

Footing can be treacherous and walks in the woods are difficult. The best way to avoid snakes is to let them know you are coming. Make noise. Tell the , out loud, that you are just passing through. You’ll see less wildlife, but that is the point. Most animals prefer to avoid people. Of course alligators have different habits than snakes. And I am fairly ignorant about the behavior of invasive pythons. July 2013 Bear

Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge

The St. Mary’s River, is part of the Okefenokee watershed.  This river, which in dry times can be walked across, from Florida to Georgia (and back) by my home is also capable of floods spanning a mile or more in some areas, and 60 or more feet deep in the “walk to Georgia” spot.  Water, and all of Nature must always be resepected.  To my husband, especially,  this place is Paradise.

Spring is early this year, even though we haven’t had the Febuary week or so of 17 F that we have every year, the huge Piliated Red Headed Woodpeckers are back.  I heard, then saw the first one, of 2013, yesterday afternoon.——Granny

You never know what you’ll find in our National Wildlife Refuges. Here, a swamp gator “plays” with a turtle in Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in Florida. But don’t worry, the gator gave up and the turtle walked away.
