As we walk through Rattlesnake Canyon in Arizona, we twist and turn our bodies to accommodate the ever changing walls.
There are things that drift away like our endless, numbered days
Autumn blew the quilt right off the perfect bed she made
And she's chosen to believe in the hymns her mother sings
Sunday pulls its children from their piles of fallen leaves ...
day 27. a good day to daydream.
I had no idea that we were going to sail through the middle of Venice but what a thrilling experience it was! Sadly with the ever increasing size of cruise ships this practice is causing a number of problems and re-routing is planned in the next few years so this experience will no longer be possible.
This was from May 17, when at least four individual tanagers visited the yard. I have not seen any since then, so I guess they were just passing through. Western tanager, backyard Olympia.
Snipeflies are active predators and can often be found sitting head-down on fence posts or sunny tree trunks, watching for passing prey. They catch smaller insects in flight, taking them back to their lookout post to eat.

The canyon is a Siren's song, luring one deeper and deeper into her sensuous curves, with temptations of something even more spectacular just ahead. The colors the camera can pick up are incredible and very little editing is needed. Mother Nature does all the heavy lifting here. Her generosity is humbling.
Sometimes you just have to stop the car and just sit and watch the light dancing on the landscape. The addition of snow with all its reflective properties just adds to the drama and being so deeply immersed in nature you can sometime forget to take a picture of that scene................. not this time!
I love Mother Nature when she waits till sunset to clear out her furry! Sunset over a beach in Del Haven, New Jersey.
I feel so special. After all my fears and thrills from my Monarch efforts this summer, I'm thrilled again to have the Monarchs passing through my yard on their way to somewhere. They've been just kindof fluttering through, one at a time, circling, occasionally making a refueling stop. So here's today's visitor, a male (I got so smart studying up). You can just tell by the smudge on the underside of his wing (I marked it). It's much more obvious from the topside. I watched for a little over a half-hour and it was all boy(s) - not sure if it was the same guy or more than one, since I only saw them one at a time. I sure hope he gets where he's going. What a joy to be a part of this cycle.
If you check this large, you can see how the eye is spotted to match the rest of his outfit. I find that fascinating.

Pictured here is a simple b&w still life of an old pocket watch that I had lying around. Just passing the time and looking forward to better days ahead. Stay safe out there.
