Dawn Chorus

Good Morning from North Louisiana.
I woke up at my Mother-in-Love's home to the sound of the dawn chorus. As always I recognized the voices of the cardinal and the blue jay calling to their own, ' Are you awake? Are you finding anything good to eat?' There were many others singing high and singing low whose names I do not know. For 45 minutes the tall trees and shrubs were full of the voices of songbirds checking in with each other.
When I looked out my bedroom window, the morning sun was barely lighting the dogwood's fall leaves, the double pink sasanqua, and finally the old pecan tree that the squirrels love in the backyard.

Trees and Tracks

It's 9 am, 46 degrees, and what some people call a glorious day.

Yesterday I forgot my camera when I marveled at this colorful sight.
Today I didn't leave home without it.

What bird made these wet tracks on my path?
They're just right for a crow.

The neighborhood heron caught a worm rich after this moment.

Enjoying a Morning Walk

October Heron

I see the early morning fisher.

He sees me.

He sees the runner.

Beautiful in flight and in shadow 

Off to more fishing.

Beautiful October morning!

Fall Colors

On our morning walk Mark pointed out to me the yellow leaves among the green over our heads in the sweet gum tree. Delighted on this cool fall morning, I took some pictures so I could go home and sketch. Imagine my surprise upon finding the blue leaves in the photo.

Buon Giorno

Sunrise over the Adriatic Sea is a fine way to start a day. It's also good to end an afternoon with a complete rainbow over Venice!

Refreshing!

Cool water on Olympia dusty feet saves the day. Little fish dart around my legs as I dig my toes into the rounded pebbles.

Dawn at Napoli

Ahh! Nature at its finest! Gentle breeze. Moisture in the air. Swallows darting and checking in with each other.
