“If you want to share joy and beauty with the world, you must fill your life with those things.” – Jeff Goins, “The Most Important Part of the Creative Life” I started my Master Gardener classes in early January. I’ve been doing most of the work online, but managed to attend two Saturday classes at…
I don’t have many of my own photos to accompany this post as I forgot my good camera and my hand-held camera’s batteries died after only a couple photos. So I stole a few photos from fellow mountain bike riders. Beyond that you’ll have to use your imagination and picture a group of about 30…
This post contains my first attempt at doing an “educational” video. Perhaps someone powerful will see this, marvel at my talent, and hire me as a broadcaster or public speaker. I might even get my own TV show. It can only get better than this No where to go but up Which way to look…

I couldn’t resist. I had to check on my worms and it’s a good thing I did. Bunches of them were crawling along the top ridge of the tub. None had gotten out but the loose fitting lid made me think it was only a matter of time. I flicked and plucked the worms to…

I’ll be curious to see if anyone notices the sand crane in the first photo…
Exquisite images Maery Rose! I cannot see the sandcrane…or are they all sand cranes?!? we have our yearly migration coming through in Socorro at the Bosque del Apache mid November….such wonder! Reminds me of Terry Tempest William’s new book I’m reading, :When Women were Birds.” Lovely!
Yep, see the crane!! Right there on the ground on the left! You take gorgeous pictures!! Love them!!
Mary – Thank you. I like the title of the book. I’ll have to see if I can find it.
Paint Girl – You got it! Gorgeous days make the shots easy and the geese were so cooperative. They just kept coming and coming and coming…
Loved the post!
Thanks for pointing out the Sandhill Crane, I had to go back and look for it. Nice pic! Love the post. Happy Fall!
We have sandhills down here in the winter. A few years ago I knew where to find the flocks, but now, with drought and changing farming patterns, I’d have to look just a bit. There’s nothing like a whole field of geese or cranes!
The white pelicans are coming in now – I saw a large flock this week. They’re always a harbinger of our first real cold front, so I’ll be sniffing the air. The geese will be later – often mid-November or so. I love to hear them.
Lori – I’m glad!
Zoma – I didn’t realize the cranes were there until I downloaded the photos, although I did hear them calling. I love the way they sound!
Linda – Thanks for stopping by! I love watching the pelicans fly over when I’m in California. I got a little burned out on the sounds of geese when I was at a festival where there were goose and duck calling competitions. But enough time has passed that the sound is something pleasant again. =D
Oh there it is! I would have missed the crane had you not mentioned it. Great capture…in fact they all are.
I was walking with a friend at Elm Creek last weekend and a flock of Trumpeter Swans flew over our heads. Of course I could not for the life of me get them in the view finder of my camera in time.
Beautiful pictures!!!
This is so beautiful! Such a lovely tribute to the changing seasons..the light..to life!
Poetic words to go with gorgeous photos. It cannot possibly be the “last nice day”. They told us that here last week, and we had a few gray days but the blue is back!
