“Be the celebrators, celebrate!
.....the flowers have bloomed, the birds are singing, the sun is there in the sky—celebrate it! You are breathing and you are alive and you have consciousness, celebrate it!”

Pond View
"Spring is when life's alive in everything."

The tree swallows are back and flying around the pond. I didn't realize I caught one in flight until I looked at the picture closer.
We also saw a mink at the pond during this visit, which I will show in my next post.

Frog In The Pond
Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail.

Great Blue Heron Visitor
The world is full of Poetry—the air
Is living with its spirit; and the waves
Dance to the music of its melodies,
And sparkle in its brightness.
Earth is veiled,
And mantled with its beauty; and the walls,
That close the universe, with crystal, in,
Are eloquent with voices, that proclaim
The unseen glories of immensity...

“I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought,
"This is what it is to be happy.”

Heritage Park Reflections
So come to the pond,
or the river of your imagination,
or the harbor of your longing,
and put your lips to the world.
And live
your life.
