This is a photo I took in one of the Forests of the "Mont Saint-Hilaire" in Canada. Mont Saint-Hilaire is a steep-sided circular formation rising some 250 meters above the Saint Lawrence plain. It comprises one of the last remnants of old growth deciduous forest in Quebec and hosts many rare and endangered species. It is located about 32 km east of Montreal. The biosphere reserve is located near a major urban region of some 3.5 million people. Increasing urban development around Mont Saint-Hilaire and a growing number of visitors has led to the multiplication of human disturbances and fragmentation of the forest which once covered the entire Richelieu Valley. The protection of the greenbelt and forest corridors which surround Mount Saint-Hilaire is one of the main goals of the biosphere reserve. (Source: www.unesco.org)

Singing Birds

A poem by Peter S. Quinn

Singing birds so soft and sweet
Thru the days and into night
Each their love song is a treat
With their hope in weightless flight
Softly coming raindrops in
Dripping thru the soft forest
All their glows in silence spin
Falling to the tree top's nest

Singing birds are bringing thru
Their wonderful enjoyment
Their songs are for me and you
Without ever a relent
So much in their singing tune
Giving the days new yearning
With their mood of happy June
As the shades keep turning

Love songs for the alone love
In their beginning giving
Featherweight as clouds above
Comforting moments living
The dreams that never become
Just nocturnal lullabies
Where the gleam pixies are from
In the flickering light skies

You and I

You and I

A poem by Peter S. Quinn

You and I in spring first
Green rising high to new...
Flowing in gradation burst
Strength rechargeable thru
Each our while is beautiful
Bringing enjoyment to days
Gone are the moment’s dull
Those were in winter haze

You and I close to touch
Everything comes now easily
With the breeze inasmuch
As freshness comes breezily
Its ‘love me or love me not’
Till petals have been plucked
There is rarely aforethought
If feelings are misinstruct

You and I thru the breeze
Each day and in dusky black
So close beneath the trees
Cause spring is on the almanac
Bringing near to closer still
As life nurtures our foliages
Field flowers and on the hill
Air and rain acknowledges

Cast Your Fate into the Wind

A poem by Peter S. Quinn

Hey there where have you been?
I have been wandering away
So much of the ocean I’ve seen
From the dawn of new day
Every rock and the billows high
Have been my stepping stone
Like green gray blue open sky
When I was flying alone

Cast your fate into the wind
Every hour is behind
Colors burning their chagrined
Prisms joys you'll find
Never ending songs of nature
In times that are gone ahead
Feelings joy befalling rupture
Everything shades have bled

Days of dark and few songs
They come here in mystery
In a timelessness to long
Each with a different armory
Falling grace shadows deep
Flowing through the hours
Nothing in remains to keep
As their minutes towers
Different ways of busy lives
Secret place old ages
With their burning on drives
Going thru life pages

This is the landscape I saw from the top of Beynac Castle, in the Dordogne department of France. I visited this beautiful place last week. I spent several days to assemble and edit some 20 photos I took there (no Fisheye and no AutoPano). The original image is huge and it was quite a challenge this time because my graphic tablet just got damaged and I had to do everything with a standard mouse. :)

The above photos have been shot with the Samsung NX10
