WOODS IN RAIN

WOODS IN RAIN

ancient redwood and cedars whisper
eternity’s  secrets to rain damp ferns
as i walk through the forest toward russian gulch
my terrior dances about my feet
while belladonna and steve are snuffleling along the trail
out in front eager to reach the small bay
hoping to play fetch with driftwood
tossed into seafoam
or tag with irritated seagulls
in the surf...
a soft rain is falling
washing everything clean and fresh
crisp and new ...
as the cool grey night
slips in to remind us
it is time to head home
for hot chocolate amaretto laced
 and a warm dog pile cuddle
 on the rug by the warm fire...

it is so nice to see someone who actually stops to embrace and enjoy nature....animals do all the time...they appreciate...we don't...we are too busy...

and the forests are so interesting....just thinking about what those trees have seen in their lifetime.

One of my favorite places to be is in the woods during and shortly after a rain fall... everything is so fresh... I enjoyed this write - so peaceful... and as a dog lover, I found myself tossing sticks into the water and scratching chins :)
