In Finis Pond at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge has a small family of Green Herons. All waiting around by the marshy waters waiting for breakfast to arrive. Waiting, watching, waiting for the perfect moment. Then BAM ! Breakfast is served!
Good morning ! Wondering what you’re doing today. Got anything fun for me to eat? I’ve been running around the garden, wondering where the butterflies are. It’s time for the Monarchs to pass through and I’m looking for those bright orange beauties. Here’s one – all by itself […]
Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone’s face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love?’ These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love […]

They are the stars. I feel awkward without them. Bindi […]
This week has been a week of entertaining guests. A boat ride on the Chesapeake Bay was certainly appropriate and the weather cooperated. Stopping at a waterfront restaurant for takeout, it seems we weren’t the only ones looking for a seafood meal. A family had just returned from […]
I’ve been out shooting lightly the last few days. But getting more misses than hits. Tried to get the cat stalking some ducks, but that didn’t work out so well. The a Great Blue Heron caught my eye, but he was too far away. I also have been […]
