Patterns in the Bark
What we call chaos is just patterns we haven’t recognized. What we call random is just patterns we can't decipher.

Country Life
A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness.
- Leo Tolstoy

A Canvas of Glory
an infinitude of hope,
a canvas of glory
all possibilities mine.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Leaf from a tree in the front yard....this is the only leaf left on that one
Today in the United States we celebrate Thanksgiving!
I wasn't sure what kind of post to do today - such pressure :)
So I thought I would share something from childhood.
When I was growing up, it was traditional for us to
sit around the table and tell what we were thankful for
Here's my list.
I am thankful for:
A wonderful job that I love
A new found appreciation for nature
Kind and generous parents who didn't give up on
the black sheep of the family
Fantastic siblings who are always supportive
Two great kids who are quickly becoming wonderful young adults
A terrific husband - truly a gift from God
To God for sending the greatest Gift of all
I hope that I can make every day a Thankful day!

BIRDS
This was taken Sunday at the Izaak Walton Park
A Mockingbird.
This was taken in my front yard
As was this.... I guess there are advantages to the leaves falling....
This was taken through the glass of the door
that leads to the deck - so it is a bit distorted
This is the same shot as above.
She was actually posed this way I just rotated the shot above so you could get
a better look. This is a Red Bellied Woodpecker - female. The Red goes
all the way to the top of the head on the males.
We call the female "Wilma" and the male "Woody".

Fog on the New River
In nature, everything has a job. The job of the fog is to beautify further the existing beauties!

Encourage Them To Try Again
Goldrenrod turns white as it comes to its end.
When I saw this two specific things came to my mind.....
#1 - It looks like Snow

I can never get enough leaves
Love the trees until their leaves fall off, then encourage them to try again next year.

Out in the Country
Barn in Autumn
For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together. For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad.

BALTIMORE DUCK
This duck was still sleeping... or maybe he was just trying to take a nap.....
I took several shots.... this was my perspective when I took this shot.... I was above him.
I think it looks better rotated like this.
He has his beak buried in his feathers, and up on one leg,
but he was looking at me the entire time.
Of all the photographs I took in Baltimore, I love this one best!
(click on the pics to enlarge...it makes a difference)
Added : For a look at another duck... check out Abe's site: http://mybirdsblog.blogspot.com/

Go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_McHenry to learn more.
The guy in green is a park ranger.... the others are in period dress... the ranger was giving a lecture on how the fort was used over the years... The War of 1812, Civil War, WWI etc.
