shot of the day (5/21/22)
winter came back
for a visit this morning–
she pulled a white sheet
o’er my freshly mown lawn,
and now i’m afraid to start
planting my garden
until i’m convinced
that nurse ratched is gone

Dalai Lama Quote
I’m always chasing down some kind of wildlife for a picture, but I have to admit, I have far more shots of their backsides as they run away than anything else. It makes me wonder why every animal I encounter, great or small, is utterly terrified of me. Anyway, it’s not always a bad thing that I can’t catch them, which brings me to the Dalai Lama quote:
“Remember that sometimes
not getting what you want
is a wonderful stroke of luck.”

Limerick 37
There lives a delusional pig
Who thinks she’s as thin as a twig,
And when she’s called out
On those ears and that snout,
She says, “They’re just perfectly big.”

Pelican Day
The pelican pictures I posted the other day were well received, so I went back to the river yesterday to take a few more, and ended up spending the day there. A day in the life…

forever now (etheree)
i
love to
have coffee
in the morning
with mother nature;
she always reminds me
to live life in the moment
for the moment is all there is–
the future will never come to be
and the past is water under the bridge
