Eastern Towhee In A Thorny Mess

Well, it looks like a thorny mess to me!  It amazes me how birds can dig around and even perch on thorny vines and manage to do it without getting all scratched up.

All living things contain a measure of madness that moves them in strange, sometimes inexplicable ways. This madness can be saving; it is part and parcel of the ability to adapt. Without it, no species would survive.

Wasp - Discovery in a Dangerous Spot

The greatest discoveries have come from people who have looked at a standard situation and seen it differently.

~ Ira Erwin

I am calling this a wasp - but the truth is - I really don't know what this is.  

Holding It Together

Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.

Among the Thorns

I am amazed that these little guys can flit around and land on these thorny plants without getting pricked.

Every moment of life is so precious. 
Take a moment, slow down, and enjoy it.

To The Point

Worry is a thin stream of fear 
trickling through the mind.

If encouraged, it cuts a channel 
into which all other thoughts are drained.
~Arthur Somers Rache
