Posing in the Pines

(American Robin) 

Yesterday the twig was brown and bare;
To-day the glint of green is there;
Tomorrow will be leaflets spare;
I know no thing so wondrous fair,
No miracle so strangely rare.
I wonder what will next be there!
~ L.H. Bailey

Remain Hopeful

 we remain hopeful.

Elusive Moments

 The more we try to catch hold of the present moment the more elusive it becomes. It is like trying to clutch water in ones hands. The harder we grip, the more it slips through our fingers.
~ Alan Watts

One of the most elusive birds I have encountered - a Brown Creeper.  They flit here and there - never in one spot very long - AND - they blend in with the trees.   
They have GREAT Camo!

Invest in Goodness



Goodness is the only investment that never fails.
~Henry David Thoreau

A perfect spot for a Pine Siskin ~ In the Pines.
A quote that has absolutely nothing to do with the pic - 
but EVERYTHING to do with each of us.

Imagination took the reins, and Reason, slow-paced, though surefooted, was unequal to a race with so eccentric and flighty a companion.- Fanny Burney

Wings in Flight

Be like the bird in flight . . . pausing a while on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, yet sings knowing yet, that she has wings.

A Blue-headed Vireo spreads his wings.

The Seeds of Today


All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today

Wings Like Tree Bark




 "Seeing is a gift that comes with practice." 
 - Stephanie Mills 

 A Mourning Cloak Butterfly is one of the first butterflies I see in spring.
Doesn't the underside look like tree bark?
 He really blends in with the tree.

Well Balanced


If we could learn how to balance rest against effort, calmness against strain, quiet against turmoil, we would assure ourselves of joy in living and psychological health for life.
 -  Josephine Rathbone

Finding a balance in life is quite the undertaking! I'm working on it!

An Unwrinkled Heart


To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent -that is to triumph over old age. 
~ Thomas Bailey Aldrich


One of my favorite things to do when I am out walking is to try to find "shapes" in nature. Can you see the heart shape in this leaf?

Wednesday

Little Things


It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.
~ John Wooden
When I saw this quote I thought of all the "little" feathers making it possible for this Tufted Titmouse to fly. Birds in flight are a constant fascination to me and any time I can get a shot of one in flight - or in take off mode I am thrilled.
