Backyard Safari
I couldn’t resist the outdoors, so I took to my backyard armed with my camera…
Busywork Monday & Backyard Birding
Breaking from the day-to-day to take in some necessary nature in really nice weather after a slow walk to the post office and coffee shop. I just watched a pair of cardinals sharing a small meal, but I was too slow to retrieve my camera. The bright red of the male cardinal looked so nice with the green leaves against the blue sky.. Good color combination.

Tiny Birds
Arachnid Life
I found this squatting spider (an ‘orb weaver’, I believe) this morning as I was sweeping my front porch of new cobwebs and birdseed that’s fallen from the feeders.. but I couldn’t bring myself to sweep away the expectant mother. Charlotte’s Web left a lasting effect maybe. I’ve been catching LOTS of spiders in my house lately and releasing them to my yard. At least this one has made it’s dwelling outside where I won’t find it in a pant leg or under my covers, etc.. The very early spring has brought them out in full force.
The Dream of Now
The Dream of Now by William Stafford
When you wake to the dream of now
from night and its other dream,
you carry day out of the dark
like a flame.
When spring comes north and flowers
unfold from earth and its even sleep,
you lift summer on with your breath
lest it be lost ever so deep.
Your life you live by the light you find
and follow it on as well as you can,
carrying through darkness wherever you go
your one little fire that will start again.
