There’s a path up to a kind of open-air theatre I don’t often take. Somewhere over the months it has transformed into a dandelion sanctuary, a place for the entertaining of masses of dandelions.
Up and around the corner, looking deep into the ravine, everything is lush, every last tree and bush has become green – 
And amongst the branches the drama of living, of survival, of hunting and feeding and resting rages on – 
At the pond, a small mysterious standoff unfolds –
A lover’s quarrel, perhaps…

How I love this post. The saturated colors, the quietness of the images, the wee raccoon snuggled in his cocoon… Thank you for starting my day so gently.
🙂 So very glad you enjoyed…
