Hanging on to my Heart

Black-bellied Plover (winter)

“I’ll start here”


(I love these guys)

Coral Cove






















In the forest, who knows what you will see,
While on a hike, or riding a bike;
Hear, f eel, just be.
~
A bird singing a song,
A bug traveling along;
Hear, feel, just be.
~
A butterfly drinking nectar,
A beetle saying, don’t give me a lecture;
Hear, feel, just be.
~
A flower looking forlorn
A deep, red bloom reborn;
Hear, feel, just be.
~
In the forest, who knows what you will see,
Hear, feel, just be.









I took these photos in Ray Roberts Lake State Park.

Do it with flair,
Jump off of there.
~
You will be going round and round,
It won’t be homeward bound;
Jump off of there.
~
The spin will make you dizzy,
Your brain will be in a tizzy;
Jump off of there.
~
I’am going to charge you fare,
You must take care;
Jump off of there.
~
Do it with flair,
Jump off of there.

While we were camping at Copper Breaks State Park outside of Quanah, TX, we encountered Praying Mantis everywhere. They liked hanging on to the coach tires; I believe for the heat.
Notice, the little leg hanging on to the rubber stub on the tire. I when outside to get something out of one of the bays and came back inside with one on my ear! Yikes!

I took these photos while at Copper Breaks State Park. We were driving out of the park and i noticed her sitting on this fence post. I got out of the car and was able to capture these shots before, as you can see, she darted off!
