“Have you ever looked at the bud of a magnolia flower? It’s a tight little pod that stays closed up for a long time on the end of its branch until one day, out of nowhere, it finally bursts open into this gigantic, gorgeous, fragrant flower that’s ten times bigger than the bud itself. It’s impossible to imagine that such a big beautiful thing could pop out of that tiny little bud. But it does.” – Joanna Gaines

"People try to put us d-down (Talkin′ 'bout my generation)
Just because we g-get around (Talkin′ 'bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-c-cold (Talkin' ′bout my generation)
I hope I die before I get old (Talkin′ 'bout my generation)
This is my generation
This is my generation, baby"

Great Blue Heron
This vantage point situated the heron at the head of a lake giving it a clear view of any potential meals.
Yet another Circle B resident.
No chance of a fill-up from this old station. Found this on the side of the road on my way up to the Grand Tetons from Salt Lake City
Praying Mantis
Spotted on the hedge at the front of our property today. Whilst it is still cool just 12°C (54°F) the sunshine is glorious today and there was a number of insects in the garden.
Flaps down, tips up, a juvenile Red-tailed Hawk powers off its perch... up and away.
Considered somewhat common due its large size and habit of perching near roadways where it's easy to observe.

She'd take the world off my shoulders
If it was ever hard to move
She'd turn the rain to a rainbow
When I was living in the blue
Why then, if she is so perfect
Do I still wish that it was you?
Perfect don't mean that it's working
So what can I do? (Ooh)
When you're out of sight
In my mind
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us
Tell me he savors your glory
Does he laugh the way I did?
Is this a part of your story?
One that I had never lived
Maybe one day you'll feel lonely
And in his eyes, you'll get a glimpse
Maybe you'll start slipping slowly
And find me again....
Woke up this morning blues around my head
No need to ask the reason why.
I'm stepping out.
I'm stepping out.

A Great Blue Heron delivers another stick to the nest!
There are at least a dozen active heron nests at the GB heron rookery, and I counted 16 herons perched on or near their nests.
