choices: darkness or light

Along the way…

“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.” John Lubbock, The Use of Life

Christmas Island (Kiritimati)

on the approach, flying in over the flats. This was from a trip in 2009, but I still marvel at the surreal experience on this tropical island.

Tall firs & clouds…

while hiking in the Oregon Cascades

Mt. Adams (Washington)

Dilly Dally about on a Winter’s Day…

Winter time and absorbed with which Hummingbird feeder seems to work best…are the feeders frozen?…where are the Hummingbirds, are they alright?…I better rotate the feeders (unfrozen for frozen)…hearing again what a sticky mess I have created on the kitchen counter…soon I will be concerned about the ants and yellow jackets swarming the feeders…such serious concerns 🙂

matters of perception…

“Every moment was a precious thing, having in it the essence of finality.” Daphne du Maurier

trotting along…

“I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it’s such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my mother is attractive, but I have photographs of her.” Ellen DeGeneres

descending into darkness…

but having hope for a better tomorrow…a positive attitude dusk after dusk

Good signs…

The daffodils have pushed through the just thawed garden soil…the camellias are sporting buds and the hydrangea have new growth showing. Soon enough…
