Baby Bandit

When the great photographer, Minor White, would go out to photograph

He would never say, “What will I take today?”

Rather he would ask, “What will I be given today?”  Dewitt Jones

Spread Your Wings!

Today is full of possibilities.

Who cares if others don't see them?

                      Spread your wings!

I thank you God for this most amazing day


for the leaping greenly spirits of trees  


and the blue dream of sky


and for everything which is natural


which is infinite 
which is yes

Merlin

Spent a few days geocaching and bird watching in the UP.  On a hike to a cache and heard and then saw this Merlin along the shores of Lake Superior.  I had a point and shoot camera so the quality is not the greatest but it's a bird I've only seen twice before in my lifetime.
