Rows of young plants gradually fade into the fog bound background.
Month: June 2017
Brightens
Early morning: the sky brightens while the landscape remains in relative darkness.
Watches
As daylight fades, Fitzi watches over the back yard.
Feeding song birds
I feed the birds year round, though less diligently in the warm months when multiple food sources are available.
A male House Sparrow helps itself to some oil sunflower seed.
Resting
Senior Achilles resting on a late spring evening, Bentley glowing.
Crash
This American Robin fledgling made a barely controlled landing on our shed roof. Concerned that it might slide right off and crash to the ground, we kept the dogs inside. After a moment it flew away – with surprising elan.
Pennies from heaven
Faye and I were recently in the States. We visited a grocery store. Walking through the parking lot, we saw a penny and I picked it up thinking ‘Find a penny, pick it up, all that day have good luck.’ Faye thought and said ‘Penny from heaven; Stella is saying hello.’ We walked on and about 50 feet later there was another penny. Faye said ‘Stella’s really trying to talk to you.’
I’m trying to listen.
Duckus enormousus
A bit of whimsy.
Either an enormous duck paraded back and forth across a field, or a tractor did.
Yellow and green
The different colours and textures of a wheat field in morning sun, and a bush in shadow, contrast wonderfully.
We recently visited the University of Wisconsin Arboretum. This lovely greensward was only one of the many pleasant, restful scenes.
Back on Thursday.
