a leaf floats by
like a dream in the night
invokes attention
yet remains beyond grasp
fleeting and forgotten
Until next time…

~Look Up~
Look up you just might see,
a feathered friend perched in a tree,
eating, resting, preening,
always a pleasure for me.

~I wish I may, I wish I might~
“If I close my eyes and wish, really hard, for her to go away now, will she?”
When we pulled into our RV site at Little Manatee River State Park, last Sunday, this beauty was there to welcome us. After that first day, I didn’t see her any more. On Saturday afternoon she came back for a visit; ate, walked around and then headed across the street to visit the people in site 20.

~For the Love of Trees~
I have always loved trees.
I remember, as a little girl, one of my favorite things to do was to find a tree with just the right crooked branch. One that curved just enough for me to lie in. I called it my “reading” branch. I would grab a mystery book, climb into my tree and lay there and read. What fun! You would think that time would pass slowly, but it didn’t. Before long it was time to climb down.
I also remember climbing a tree in my Brownies’ uniform/dress and falling out of it, splat! It knocked the wind out of me, but I didn’t hold a grudge against the tree!
These days I just love to take photos of gorgeous trees.
Do you have a favorite tree experience?
~The Explorer and The Lagger!
Our two hikers….
One is an explorer, always ready for a hike, loves to go down any trail, loves to go down anything that looks like a trail, remembers the ones she had been down and wants to go down the path when she passes it again. When The Explorer feels she hasn’t explored enough and we try to turn around, she stubbornly refuses to head back.
The other, I affectionally call the lagger. She lags behind, well, because she is basically lazy and spoiled! But, man can she travel fast when, I say: “okay, lets go back”! She trots full speed ahead and wants to be in the lead. Howard and I look at each other and just laugh.
I dearly love my pack and enjoy every step taken with them by my side.
Can you tell which one is the Explorer and which one is the Lagger?
