Hummingbird Ballet in the Jewelweed


"Fresh air is as good for the mind as for the body. Nature always seems trying to talk to us as if she had some great secret to tell. And so she has.”

Beauty and Wonder



The world we live in is a fairyland of exquisite beauty, our very existence is a miracle in itself, and yet few of us enjoy as we might, and none as yet appreciate fully, the beauties and wonders which surround us.

Resting Twosome


Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time. 
~ John Lubbock

My wish for you today: Take some time to rest, listen to the birds in the trees or the buzzing of a dragonfly, and take a deep deep breath of nature. 
 You will be glad you did!

Eastern Towhee - Backyard Visitor


“Happiness is a condition of mind not a result of circumstances.” 
 ― John Lubbock 

An Eastern Towhee visits my back yard in early Spring.

Against The Sky

Branches against the sky 

Flying across the sky

Wings in the Sky 

It is a HAWK! 


Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.
