What You Do Matters
I was meditating a while ago and put out the question to the universe, “Who am I?” I know. I’ve been asking that a lot lately. I really hadn’t expected an answer so I was surprised when the words that came into my head were “Truth Teller.” What? No I’m not. If I was, I wouldn’t keep…

“I know God will not give me anything I can’t handle. I just wish He didn’t trust me so much.” — Mother Teresa I should be working on my story, I know, but I have some things on my mind that I need to get out first. It’s been a rough week. Things happen behind…

Not out of the woods yet, and I don’t want to be
To lift my spirits after a tough couple weeks, Steve and I spent much of the weekend playing outdoors. The temperatures cooperated by moving into the upper 30 and 40 degree range. It was amazing to walk from the indoors to the outdoors without a sudden gasp of air and a desperate grabbing for my…

Part 2 of Oregon Trip: Columbia River Scenic Drive and Timberline Lodge
After we got off the train, we took a cab to get to the car rental place. We picked up our rental car and took the historic, scenic Columbia River drive towards Mt Hood.

Thoughts of Life Expressed
Writing a poem today was a struggle, which may be evident. Usually I just throw out whatever comes into my head, only feeling the need for slight changes. But this one came out awkward, the cadence and message lost. I’m blaming this on the dreariness and demands of the day. All the creatures were feeling…

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!
