Never in my life have I attempted to write poetry; however I am currently enjoying trying.

~Poetry, For now a Rest~

with her mate, she sits in her tree

exhausted after a day of nest building

knowing soon their essential skill as hunters

will be required to provide food for their young

for now, a rest

vivid colors cast the perfect backdrop 

to showcase her strong resolve to survive

as the beauty of this day lingers

a few minutes more

Look close and you will see two
Look close and you will see two

survival, a simple quest or is it

survival, a simple quest or is it
Another hunter, enjoying the peace at the end of a day
Last performance

(the other hunter slowly moves our way)

I truly enjoy photographing the setting sun and these magnificent birds from a pier on Lake Hammond in Lake Louisa State Park.

~Hanging~

just hanging around

trying to enjoy my day

what are you doing

Hanging around at the beach

Dragonfly
Hanging down by the river
"I have my eye on you"
Hanging Loose among the Palmettos
Huh
This one is…
Hanging on to my Heart
Black-bellied Plover (winter)
Hanging with friends

Hanging around hoping to capture a few photos
Trying to hide
“I’am not hanging, I’am trying to hide”

A fun time just hanging around Coral Cove Beach in Jupiter, Florida, which is just a few miles from Jonathan Dickinson State Park.

~Love and A Tiny Bird Running to Survive~

sky so blue

sunlight casting soft hues

hand in hand, yours in mine

walking along the shoreline

my heart sings, we knew

I was the one for you

The Atlantic Ocean, changes color, almost instantly.

The sun and its light, play a lead part in determining these colors.

The weather plays a huge roll in creating its moods.

The wind, the master, shape the waves pounding the shore.

The rise and fall of the sea, caused by the effects of the moon and the sun (gravitational forces) create the tides. Its vibe!

All life, along the shoreline, are dependent on these forces, creating the right combination for existence.

A Sanderling, hunting for food along the shoreline and competing with dozens more that wanted the tiny morsel she was able to catch.

To me the out of focus (with one tinted) photos below, showcase the ocean’s vibe and its mighty forces.

Running from the surf
Hunting, running to survive

We have enjoyed the four mile drive to this beach, while visiting Hobe Sound, Florida. A breathtaking beach, quite, clean and teaming with life’s energy. Wednesday, we leave the serenity of the ocean behind.

Run! Run to survive and enjoy each day!

~A Sunset: Gentle, True and Intense~

Gentle
Gentle

~

A sunset, at the beginning,

the light is Gentle.

 ~

As it progresses,

the light is True.

 ~

As the setting sun descends,

Its light is Intense.

Let nature be our guide,

Be gentle, be true and live with intensity.

We enjoyed a spectacular Sunset this evening! I hope you did as well.
