Nature Victoria: January 2014
http://syrinxnymph.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Natural history notes from Victoria, British Columbia. Tuesday, January 21, 2014. The Flowers of Fall. The simple pleasures of August,. The new green leaves,. The rein orchids,. Found above the firs,. In high oak meadows. The pale green of maiden-hair ferns,. With crisp white lichen,. Next to brilliant patches. Of moss and sedum. In the coastal forest,. A single delight, Moneses. To join the September harvest. This year a rain brings. In their floral beauty,. Sometimes strange in form,. Others for the eye.

Nature Victoria: July 2014
http://syrinxnymph.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Natural history notes from Victoria, British Columbia. Monday, July 28, 2014. The spring passes into summer. The wet changes to dry. And buds to leaf and flower. Beach dunes are bright with yellow. The lowest tides reveal. With welks and anemonies among the rocks. I feel the penetrating warmth of the July sun. The brilliant Goldfinches,. So quick to flee,. Are now pursued by fluttering young. By my ear playful hummingbirds. Burr and buzz,. Hum, chatter and click. An evening chorus of feather and song.

Pushes up her green headdress. Buds and blossoms erupt,. Colour blooms in the forest,. And under the arbutus lies a rich palette. Of red-brown and green. Red-flower Current is one of the first wild blossoms of Spring . splashes of crimson in the forest green. In the city gardens Magnolias are among the first blooms.
