Autumn is Dancing with Summer

watery eye candy

the spirit of autumn breathed on a summer leaf and look what happened

music to my ears and eyes

a couple weeks ago.... just a tinge of gold in the woodland

another glimpse of Many Glacier

a visitor at my pond

along a tiny brook

high mountain flowers

traveled over the mountains

a long dirt road

and 

came upon a black bear

~

a bit of this

a bit of that

summer leans into autumn

Within an Ancient Forest

wandering

amongst your trunks

dressed in dappled light

serenade of bubbling brook

 

 forest a mighty delight

one 

creative weaver

a dance all of its own

heading for the spacious air

blue skies and light above

~

just look at this wonderful curvy tree

dressed in tender greens

and fungi

~

does anyone know what kind of lichen this is?
it was soft like lettuce
I am sorry i did not take a good photo of it, 
this is a cropped image and so it is blurry:
