Flutterby Wrens

Quite by accident, I caught these house wrens unexpectedly fluttering on the tips of the old blue spruce.  I love these little guys.  They are so musical and friendly.

I'm sorry I've been kind of out of touch lately.  This has been a difficult summer with some heavy things to deal with.  I'm hopeful.  There's always hope.

May all good blessings be yours, dear  Friends.

Eye of the Eagle

Yesterday morning, on my way to my parent's home, I drove through the protected wildlife area located just a mile from their home.  To my astonishment I noticed an eagle perched silently on a craggy old snag.   I pulled over and rolled down my car window to snap his picture.

He looked at me with his Eagle eye...

Then a moment later spread his wings and flew away.

The Eye of the Eagle is a fearsome thing to behold.  An unmistakable feeling of awe filled my heart.  Voicing that tremendous feeling, I gave a rousing cheer from my car window.  Silly, I suppose--but for me this was such an exciting moment.

Summer Shadows - Shadow Shot Sunday

The late summer sun flutters through the spreading feathers of the Raptor as he hunts.  He is so soft and quiet on wings of air, I almost miss his low flight over my back yard.

In evening breezes the sun shines golden rays through tree shadows, over the intricate woodwork of our neighbor's lovely old home.

Check out Harriet's blog for more fantastic shadowy photography, at Shadow Shot Sunday.

Riding the Back of a Dragon

I once found an oaken bridge over a bubbling brook, which led me to a magical place. There was a meadow starred with white flowers in a carpet of soft green moss. There was music weaving a tune through the trees.

Then I stepped down hewn stone stairs to a small lagoon, where I stood upon a beach of blue stones. 

The guardian of this wonderful place was a fierce dragon.  I approached him softly, laid my hand on his fearsome cheek and sang a song of Springtime.

Then he gave me a ride on his warm brown back--and we swooped with the eagles, along the shores of blue stone, as the skies reflected the mountains in the still cold waters.
