Recently I spotted this handsome little Lark Sparrow curiously peeking down at me from high atop a tree. My camera and I were peeking back at him.

A cow and her calf

Thoughts on vultures
Vultures are fascinating birds. On the ground, their wrinkled, featherless heads, grayish white legs and large, flat feet give them quite an awkward and uncomely appearance.
But in the air, they are absolutely stunning birds as they circle majestically over the farm fields, riding the thermals and looking for food. They soar and glide with elegance and style. It’s hard to reconcile the fact that such an inelegant looking bird on the ground could look so graceful in the air.
“Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is.” ~Francis Bacon
Sensing danger
“Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.” ~Helen Keller
Sun going down, Moon coming up
On our walk last night we watched the warm sun sinking in the western sky as the full moon climbed slowly above the newly tilled farm fields to the east. Both were stunning sights.
“We live on a blue planet that circles around a ball of fire next to a moon that moves the sea, and you don’t believe in miracles?” ~Unknown
Great Egret
“None of us will ever accomplish anything excellent or commanding except when he listens to this whisper which is heard by him alone.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
