Wonderful Like Butterflies

Oh, how it fills my heart.

Sketch for Gail's snail bag- she got the bag in the mail and sent me a text with @" as her snail signature (love it)!

Oh! The moon is a little afraid of us.....(wisdom from the mouth of a 3 year old).

More from my sketchbook from 1999

And this dated Jan. 12th 2000 (Julija was 10 years old):

Julija: It is super small....

Me: What is?

Julija: I dunno, it just popped into my head, it is my thought of the day.

Me: Well I think you are right.

Julija: You do?  I'll keep it in my head then.

Also Vermont in the Spring.....What a difference a day makes.

Let me out!

All Things Cute.

Okeechobee, Birds, Clouds and Other Mysteries

The trip up to Okeechobee started out fine.  We saw some common grackle birds at this rest stop.  I also saw a huge turtle, but I was so startled I dropped the camera.

Things started to get a little strange

We came upon these beautiful birds on the Big Cypress Indian Reservation.  I tried to catch them in flight as you will see over the next couple of shots.

So after this shot my attention was drawn to the ground by a sound- I looked down to see an alligator about 4 feet away!  Well I'm not sure who was more shocked because as I was leaping into the car (fortunately I left the door open) it splashed back into the canal.  What a reminder to be alert while enjoying nature- even while bird watching!

Steel blue palms and grey clouds captured through a solarized lens.  I thought I'd lighten things up a bit after the close encounter!

Objects in the Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear

Tree Graveyard

Cows

Tank??? WTF

Clouds

I am not sure why, but this is my favorite shot of the day.

This is a wonderful bag Julija made for me.  I love how the skeletons come "alive" in the solarized filter.

More wonderful clouds and then....

Angry Face in the Clouds  -

It looks like it might eat that van.
