Otter Snuggles

During a visit to the 

Western North Carolina Nature Center  

One of the highlights was seeing the River Otters.

They always make me smile :) 

If you don't start out the day with a smile, it's not too late to start practicing for tomorrow.

Judge nothing, you will be happy. Forgive everything, you will be happier. 

Love everything, you will be happiest.

Nuthatch in the Dogwood

The muffled syllables that Nature speaks 

Fill us with deeper longing for her word; 

She hides a meaning that the spirit seeks, 

She makes a sweeter music than is heard.

― George Santayana
