Nobody Home

We can never have enough of nature.

~ Henry David Thoreau

Buttercup Blues

Dream Song: 

As my eyes 

Search the prairie, 

I feel the summer in the spring. 

Whenever I pause 

The noise Of the village.

Going to Walden is not so easy a thing 

As a green visit. 

It is the slow and difficult 

Trick of living, 

and finding it where you are.

~ Mary Oliver

Flight of the Bumblebee

"Flight of the Bumblebee" is an orchestral interlude written by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov for his opera The Tale of Tsar Saltan, composed in 1899–1900

Well, now, my bumblebee, go on a spree, 

catch up with the ship on the sea, 

go down secretly, get deep into a crack. 

Good luck, Gvidon, fly, only do not stay long!

Magnolia Warbler - Male

However mean your life is, meet it and live it.
~ Henry David Thoreau 

Last week I heard something hit one of our dining room windows.

I looked out and it was this Magnolia Warbler.  

Thankfully after a few minutes he seemed fine and flew away.

Having Fun in the Rain

Innocent droplets of rain

Make almost all events

 Quite natural.

Bird Dance

I promise myself that I will enjoy every minute of the day that is given me to live.

 ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

These birds weren't actually dancing.  The White-crowned Sparrow and Tufted Titmouse landed on the fence post at the same time and this image was the result.  

The Titmouse won.
