Trying out my Big Lee Stopper I got for Christmas, should have waited until the correct light to get a decent effect. I got too excited.
It has been a long, baking hot summer in the south this year. Atlanta’s average temp has been 90 F to 96 F, not including the heat index from the unbelievable humidity. So many days feeling like over 100 F. I am so ready and longing for the cool temps of Fall and the beautiful colors. Here the setting sun shines brightly across Lake Winnipesaukee as a rainbow of color reflects along the shoreline on a beautiful Fall day in New Hampshire.

Caged Bird
by Maya Angelou
A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
“The restlessness and the longing, like the longing that is in the whistle of a faraway train. Except that the longing isn't really in the whistle—it is in you.”
― Meindert DeJong, The Little Cow and the Turtle
This is where I could sit all day on a mossy mound, sipping thermos coffee and enjoying my sandwiches.
The morning mood on the island Kauaʻi drives two yearners to the beach. The Hawaiian Island is also called the Garden Island. Its spectacular "Nā Pali Coast" served as a backdrop for films such as "King Kong" or "Jurassic World".
Die Morgenstimmung auf der Insel Kauaʻi treibt zwei Sehnsüchtige an den Strand. Die Hawaiianisch Insel wird auch die Garteninsel gennant. Ihre spektakuläre "Nā Pali Coast" diente unter anderem Filmen wie "King Kong" oder "Jurassic World" als Kulisse.

**“The man who came to the beach for nothing –
maybe just the soft orange glow of his graduated filter –
ended up finding everything: peace, light, and a gorilla made of glass.
No plan. No goal. Just an evening stroll on autopilot.
And for a moment, even the wind paused.
Longing Beach, Koh Yao Yai.
Taken shortly before drifting off.”**
A nice way to close the year.
After arrived home from our Christmas vacation travels yesterday, I decided to go hiking up the Gandy Dancer Trail this morning to reflect on the year and to pray. The reflection was nice. Been a busy and blessed year.
As I was hiking back home, I found myself in a particularly intense state of hungering for more of God and His righteousness in my life. As always, I had my camera at my side, and even was trying out the new camouflage covering for my lens that my son gave me. But especially at that moment, any hopes or desires for wildlife to photograph faded into insignificance for the burdens of my heart as I asked God to create in me a clean heart and renew a right Spirit within me. How I long to be so much more than I am for Him.
Just then, I glanced downward to the side of the trail as I was 30 feet above the lake beside me, only to find myself staring eye-to-eye with this Barred Owl. With camera in hand, I snapped this shot of a bird that wasn’t interested in moving.
A quote I have known for years came to mind, “Remain before God until unutterable longings are begotten within you for salvation, and the sweet evidence is obtained of pardoned sin.”
Like has happened so very many times in the past in similar situations, I walked away in peace. How many times has God drawn near through nature to let me know He hears these prayers? How many times has it been a Barred Owl.
This is why I take my camera with me on hikes while I am out praying, to capture these hugs from God.
Spring has sprung and little ones are everywhere. Goose family bath time has begun and and chaos reigns. Johnny wont jump in and Fluffy is headed for the safety of mamma's legs. Baby otter is trying to help direct traffic in the tub. Enjoy these and many other wonderful little stories spread around the new Longing Melody sim.
