The Eloquence of Silence

"In Silence there is eloquence." 

- Rumi

A Mother's Love

A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity. It dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.

~Agatha Christie

Canada Goose - Flying Upside Down

I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.

– Thomas Jefferson

I was quite amazed when I looked at this and saw the goose flying upside down. I guess he's not really flying upside down - but maybe got bumped by one of the others which turned him over - mid flight.

Sometimes I get really LUCKY!

I did some more research on this and found that this is called a Whiffling - you
can read more about it HERE on Wikipedia.

Birds Make Me Laugh - Fun Shot Bloopers

Doesn't it look like he is "walking" on the water

Actually "running" may be more appropriate.

These were taken from the river bank through the branches of the trees looking out onto the New River at Bisset Park. I thought it was funny that I captured one goose running away from the other one. Unfortunately all I captured was the open mouth of the goose that was doing the chasing - but I think you get the idea :)

What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul.

~Yiddish Proverb

Goose - Putting on the Brakes

 Always remember to slow down in life; live, breathe, and learn; take a look around you whenever you have time and never forget everything and every person that has the least place within your heart.

Defending His Family

Our most basic instinct is not for survival but for family. Most of us would give our own life for the survival of a family member, yet we lead our daily life too often as if we take our family for granted.

~Paul Pearshall

Roots and Wings

 
There are two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One is roots. The other is wings. 
~Hodding Carter, Jr.

I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.
