I woke up this morning to a cloudy sky,

I seen as a small bluebird did fly by,

A slight breeze did cross my face,

Traffic goes by at a slow pace,

Clouds in the sky, swirl on by,

A friend walks by and waves HI,

The coolness on shoulders as they are bare,

The soft movement as wind does blow hair,

Its so calm and peaceful out here today,

Want to get a chair and just sit and stay,

Stare at the clouds, the figures you might see,

Some will wonder, just what they could be,

The flowers are in bloom, as some so full and pretty,

Yet the sun has hurt some and they look dull and dirty,

A bird walks by and hangs around on the ground,

I wondering what he is looking at, what he found,

The trees have leaves, some are green, some brown,

The patio is soaked and the sprinklers did it drown,

I could sit and look at this site I see all day,

I enjoy nature, and the things it has to say,

I wish I was sitting in a field full of flowers,

I would not even mind some mine rain showers,

To be out, to be free and to be able to see,

Wonder what it is like to be a bumble bee,

To be able to fly and move so swift,

Can even land on a piece of wood as it does drift,

To be able to get so close to a beautiful flower,

The pollen they give out, I wonder if it is sour,

I love to see as a butterfly takes flight,

They are so beautiful, in either day or night,

I wish I could be a butterfly for just one day,

As long as I do become no other insects pray,

Snails are something that we do not talk about much,

Some would even cringed to go and give them a touch,

I used to think that they were so icky and slimy to see,

But, they are there own life source as you and me,

Have you ever really sat and just watched a deer,

I did once, a while ago, close to about a year,

I watched it as it came up into the backyard,

It was of course on alert and did have its guard,

It went up on a hill and did just stand and eat a bite,

Wow, it was so cool to watch it and have it within my sight,

I took some pictures of it to remember this day for me,

I will try to get them and place them here for you to see,

It is so cool to stop and just take a moment to look outside,

A balloon I see as in the sky it does glide,

So many things you can really notice and see,

I hope you love the pictures of nature that can be…..
