Because something ancient in you remembers the way…

…like a soft chord struck before thought rouses

The quiet loop—
a flame recognizing its own warmth within.

So for Rob’s #HolidayRobin here’s a little shy one. Hiding behind the grass. Might add he lost his shy persona when I put some nuts out. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Good morning. The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #swans and the alternative is #posts birds perched on any type of post. Obviously I am so skilled at the art of concealment neither swan saw me. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

My nephew took 2 great photos of the northern lights from his home in northern Arkansas. I especially like the one with the bare tree.

Sometimes I feel like the oak tree in my garden is watching me.

Do you know what this is?
Back in the good old summertime, my zinnias were starting to produce buds. Closeups capture amazing details!

Wishing you all a good day.

Yesterday evening, November 11, we enjoyed seeing the northern lights from our home in Arkansas, not something we see very often. Here's my daughter's photo.

After the cold front arrived with gusty winds, there remain a few maple leaves today under a cool blue sky.

Wishing you all a good day!
