Great Blue Heron - Open Wide

Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement. ....get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.

Birds and Beaks

It seems that I am always focused on trying to capture birds with something either in their beak or on their beak. I captured the above cardinal with the sun shining ON his beak and a seed IN his beak (a twofer) Looking back - I see that it has been quite a subject on this blog -

for example:

A Blue Jay Feeling quite Nutty - HERE (a little piggy with all those nuts)

A Downy Woodpcker that's quite a Messy Eater - HERE (no table ...er feeder manners)

A Female Cardinal just hanging out in the pines - HERE (pass her a napkin)

A White-throated sparrow with a buried beak - HERE 

A good time to laugh is any time you can.
