Meet Riley

 This is my friend Lori's cat, Riley.  I was at Lori's one day, taking photos of her two dogs, River and Lucy and  Riley followed us out to the pond.  I hadn't expected to photograph Riley that day but as I was taking photos of the two dogs I noticed Riley hiding in the understory.  I turned, had the chance for a quick shot, and this photo became one of my favorite photos of the day.  In a later post I'll introduce you to Lucy and River.

Sandhills

According to my brother Keith, once the sandhill cranes arrive back in Michigan we have one more snowstorm.  I certainly hope they arrive soon as I'm ready for spring!!

Think Spring!!

In every walk with nature

one receives more than he seeks.

Dreams

Hold fast to dreams, 

For if dreams die, 

Life is a broken-winged bird, 

That cannot fly.

How Bright Our Flag

Against The Sky

Atop Its Flagpole

Straight and High!

How Bright The Red,

The White The Blue,

With What They Stand For Shining Through

More Meaningful

As Years Go By

How Bright, How Bright

The Flag We Fly.
