A Rush of the Wild — Monday, January 22, 2024

 

While doing my ironing I saw a bit of the sky’s wildness land in the yard in front of me.

Beautiful!  Just Beautiful!

BUT———————————-

The girls were out and about having a good time in the yard.  I shooed them into the hen house until I was sure that beautiful creature had left for another spot on the farm. 🙂

Oh! My! Oh…..Sunday, December 10, 2023

I’ve been feeding the birds

Winter is so hard on them.  A few shakes of chicken food are good for helping keep everyone warm.

OH! MY!

SCATTER!!!!

(I’m sorry…I know the hawk is hungry too, but….not while I’m watching.  Please.)

The Sound in Silence—-Sunday, July 30, 2023

Have you noticed (wherever you live) there is no absolute silence anymore?

Even the most remote spots have the presence of  a roar in jets or distant traffic

(see the bunny?)

Welcome sounds of liquid bird songs—-always welcome

And the dappled shadows of gently rustling leaves in the breeze

A soothing delight.

The sounds of silence eddying gently

Bringing with it a tiny rainbow—a source of huge delight.

From my heart to your world,

Linda

Food and the Need for It — Sunday, June 25, 2023

Yes, I know—the Dance of Life is terrible in so many ways

 

Yet, at the same time, I can’t help myself admiring those huge birds of prey

Hawks, so beautiful, As they circle, circle, looking for a meal.

 

No different than anyone of us, ever.

From my world to your heart,

Linda

Survivors of Winter — Monday, May 16, 2022

I always wonder how the wee little animals do

Mr. P with his feathers are shinny and georgous

The silent winging of our resident hawk

The happy peaceful feeling

Being out THERE on the farm.

Come Fly, Upon the Golden Currents of the Sky — Thursday, December 16, 2021

The earth is full of amazing energy

it is everywhere,

sometimes you can see it golden

and flowing over the land,

in the sky,

around all things

The world is alive

And there for us to see

if we will just look.

Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

Linda

 

Passing Over Head —- Thursday, December 2, 2021

Sunlight bouncing off the weeds

In silence

The hunt to find food

This is our hawk…he/she has the damaged tail feather.  It must be damaged at the root for it’s always this way over all the years.

I leave before I hear the dull thud…of contact

So, that, I only enjoy the beauty.

Dancing, Dancing, Dancing in the Sunlight —- Wednesday, November 24, 2021

The dance of food/life

The sun and jet…streaming in the shivering air

Lawerance of Arabia, Tonto’s replacement…dancing, dancing for all the girls

The Quail rising into the sky

Moonlight; adding beauty to the earth, air, the heavens

A rather thin little pheasant—dashing, dashing, dashing away.

And my miss at getting a nice photo of a Flicker.

Each and everything dancing in my soul.

From my world to your heart,

Linda
