Taking charge
As I was taking photos of some turtles sunning on a log, a Great Blue Heron boldly landed on one end of the log and very assertively began marching herself right down the middle of it, scattering the turtles as she went.

End of the day
“You have to work hard at being happy, just like you have to work hard at being miserable. I wake up every day expecting all to be good and right. And if it’s not, I set my mind to making it so by the end of the day.” ~Dolly Parton
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
Breakfast!
“Oh, if you’re a bird, be an early bird
And catch the worm for your breakfast plate.
If you’re a bird, be an early bird –
But if you’re a worm, sleep late.”
~Shel Silverstein
