A great blue heron
spreading its wings in the sun,
dancing in the light.
As evening closes
the sun is still not yet down...
highlighting the leaves
Filling the surface,
algae awaits the sun rays.
Light to energy!
A new day begins.
Countless possibilities.
Breathe in and enjoy!
Bees are a flying,
pollinating the flowers.
Essential to life!
A misty morning
accentuating green trees.
What will this day bring?
Flowers shouting praise
to the sun above that feeds,
and the roaming bees.
Flowers in full bloom
blossoming all around us.
Summer at its best.
Cottontail rabbit
stopping on the bunny trail,
snacking on fresh grass.
Nature's abstract art:
stick reflection on the pond.
Always creative!
Mama goes "Honk Honk...
Make way for my dear duckling."
Together they go...
One minnow captured
by the egret's quick action.
Down the hatch it goes.
Great egret in flight.
Looking for some more minnows.
Never ending job....
Mallard and duckling
swimming in the morning light.
Quickly maturing.
A great blue heron
preens in the early morning
on the wood duck house.
With head raised up high
Canada Goose drinks water...
key mainstay for life.
Bright red fireworks
shooting toward the sky above
with a trail of green.
By the water's edge
swamp milkweed thrives and blossoms.
Monarch's favorite food.
The sun darkened sky.
Wildfires in Canada
bringing us beauty.
Common loon and chicks.
Feeding minnows to the young.
What doting parents.
Wood ducks and heron
finding their place in the sun
on a summer's day.
The lovely egret
wades into the sunrise.
A new day begins.
Time for zucchini!
Great for stir fry in salads,
or even baked bread!
Morning sun glistens
as the blossoms are being lit.
Elegant morning.
