It's not a hummingbird... but just as endearing!... There's a wonderful family of moths known as hawk and sphinx moths that behave just like hummingbirds... The way they hover above flowers, fly up, down, backwards, forwards and feed with their long beak-like proboscis... Their wings beat so fast they're almost invisible... They're even the same size as hummingbirds. The one I captured at dusk this evening is known as a pink-spotted hawk moth. So beautiful! Nature is always full of … [Read more...]

Magnificent, long-distance-migrating butterfly... The gorgeous Monarch butterfly happens to be a master of flight and gliding... The eastern populations of southern Canada have begun their long migration south to central Mexico where they will overwinter until late February!... Migrations are incredible in themselves, never mind by a butterfly... What's even more amazing about these butterflies is that the generation that flies south in Autumn have never even been to the overwintering … [Read more...]

Wildlife as gardeners... This radiantly beautiful sunflower, the size of a little saucer, was planted by wildlife. It has grown beside a small pine tree. It's a mystery who exactly planted it and how, but the resulting surprise is simply glorious!... ♥ With love and wonder-filled spirit, … [Read more...]

Our ever-changing Sky... I'm always as aware of what's going on above me as around me. Our sky is so dynamic with ever-changing colours created by the sun (sunrises, sunsets, rainbows, aurora borealis), clouds, flying animals and objects, storms, winds, stars, planets, moon... A lot of people seem surprised to find me observing the sky when they notice me doing so... they expect to see something amazing since I'm looking up!... I find our sky extraordinary as it is, at all times, … [Read more...]

Bridges of sacred energy between Earth and Sky... Trees have always held a prominent place in spirituality from ages past, one of the best known being the Tree of Life. They are firmly rooted into Mother Earth and extend their limbs high up into Father Sky. They're like bridges between the worlds of the physical and spirit. A Red Pine tree once taught me that they radiate immensely healing energy because they're channels of the sacred energy that flows between the two worlds and … [Read more...]

The Divinely created glory of our natural environment on Mother Earth... It never ceases to amaze me how beautiful and diverse our glorious planet is with her environments... We live on such an exquisite tapestry of landscapes and waterscapes that weave seamlessly together and provide us with incredible support on so many levels, including energetically... Mountains, hills, cliffs, stone formations, valleys, abysses, fjords, oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds, waterfalls, bogs, meadows, … [Read more...]

Life prevails against all odds in extraordinary ways... In Canada, and possibly in other countries that experience below freezing temperatures in the Winter season, certain species of butterflies known as "anglewings" (since they have particular angle-shaped wings) actually defy death by hibernating!... They are delicate butterflies like other species, yet they survive the harshest winters in their adult forms without dying. They find crevices to shelter themselves from the elements so … [Read more...]

Sacred geometry - the physical foundation of Nature including our bodies... Examples of sacred geometry are found everywhere throughout Nature. The most obvious form is the spiral, which we clearly see on pine cones, sea shells, animal horns, plant growth patterns. The center of this daisy also shows the spiral pattern. I love spirals. Other less obvious sacred geometry patterns are even found in our bodies (we're divinely created Nature too!). Leonardo da Vinci's "vitruvian man" … [Read more...]

B-E-A-U-T-Y... When we pause and look around us and within us... there is so much beauty that permeates everywhere, always here and there available to be perceived and received... Today I honour the beauty that resides within me, within each of you, within our environments and beyond into infinity... what we see on the outside is a reflection of the love that flows throughout... ♥ With love and wonder-filled spirit, … [Read more...]

The nurturing energies of lakes and similar water environments... I greatly enjoy silently moving upon the surface of a calm lake in a canoe or kayak at sunrise or sunset... The environment feels so peaceful and we can glimpse and sense what isn't otherwise available during the day... Like all bodies of water, lakes represent places of mystical and feminine energies, like portals to the spirit world. Many cultures of past and present speak of how they facilitate travel to other … [Read more...]
