Wordless Wednesdays – summer scenes

cypress swamp, sunset, swamp, wordless wednesdays

In the past week, I’ve canoed through a beautiful bayou to reach the lake at sunset, walked amidst towering cypress trees to watch the moon rise, and sat in the grass in my front yard staring up at mockingbirds and blue jays sharing the power lines while a cicada made the most amazingly loud sound just over my head in the pine tree.  When I try to describe these experiences with words, they always come out as lists of things seen.  But the experience itself, being there, is so much more than that.  I guess that’s why it’s called wordlessness.  If you live in the NOLA area and want to reconnect with nature and experience some wordlessness for yourself, come join me next week for sunrise wordless walks at the swamp. More details here:

Meanwhile, enjoy these peaceful images from my recent explorings…

I’m going to the swamp for sunrise wordless walks to usher in July.  Come join me if you like, or if you live far away consider where you might want to view a summer sunrise.  Or a moonrise too.  For NOLA people, Details are here.

Meanwhile, if you don’t want to wait until June 23 for moonrise or July 1-4 for my sunrise walks, please enjoy some photos from recent wordless walks.  I will be quiet now and let the photos do the talking – except to ask you to find the owl in the pic with the purple flowers, and the bunny on the boardwalk…

wordless walk januaryOn our last wordless walk in the swamp, we were so quiet that we were able to watch this young raccoon without it ever noticing us! Here’s a little clip.  I love the bird song – spring is already coming to the swamps of Louisiana!

My next Wordless Walk is February 23 – hope you can join me!  More details here.
