In Season At All Times

Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.

Roots and Wings

 
There are two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One is roots. The other is wings. 
~Hodding Carter, Jr.

Taking the Moment

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it without knowing what's going to happen next. 
~ Gilda Radner

Color Your World

Grackles have some AMAZING colors in their feathers. I had never been able to capture their iridescence until now.
Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world. Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up. 
~Allen Klein

There Are No Shortcuts

I am fascinated with the "motion" of birds and I take a LOT of pictures trying to capture them in motion. I have often thought of doing a "bloopers" post to show the zillions of pics I have with maybe one wing in the frame, or just the tail feathers. Most of the time I end up with nothing at all as they've left the frame before I can even get a shot off. It has been VERY hard for me to capture the entire bird in the frame. This is NOT a great picture - BUT - I caught the entire Downy Woodpecker in the shot :) I have posted before of a Red-bellied Woodpecker In Motion - Here and a Female Cardinal in Motion - Here. So I will keep trying to capture the birds in motion - and someday in focus too :)

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going. ~Beverly Sills

Singing in the Rain

Taken thru the window looking out into my front yard.

Truly to sing, that is a different breath.  
~ Rainer Maria Rilke

This little guy was singing his heart out in the rain one morning. 
Beautiful music!
