H.T.C.
Horribly, terribly and completely.
As in nature, so as in hearts, some days are filled with H.T.C.
But the sun still rises.
Springs, summers, autumns, and winters are always just around the corner.
Water still flows downhill, cats still prowl, babies still cry, and the human heart still heals.
Thank Him that He knows what He is doing, because as a human, I have the uncanny ability to fail miserably.

(This was shot in the early morning along the Florida gulf coastline. The beach was filled with deadness, like this tree, left bare and reaching, a result of the last nasty hurricane that came through, tearing apart this beautiful beach, as it passed.)
May your day shine beautifully dear friends..
With absolutely no tears, unless of course
they are tears of joy.. :)

Adult Wood ducks (Aix sponsa).
One male in eclipse plumage with three females.
Wildwood Lake, canal side. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
A close-up view of traditional Japanese furin (wind chimes) with tanzaku (paper strips) bearing calligraphy for Nikko Futarasan Jinja, hanging from a branch at a shrine.
I heard noise above my head & found a male wood duck up there quacking away. Not surprising this time of year because wood ducks nest in cavities of trees. Not on the ground like most other ducks do.

In March I had an opportunity to visit my sister in Victoria, Texas. While visiting we toured many areas where I was able to get a photo shoot in. On this day we stayed in Victoria and traveled to the outskirts where this lazy river was flowing. Right on that river bank was a bar and grill where we relaxed with a Martini and shrimp. Such a nice view from their outdoor deck! Some of the views are abstract with many reflections. I will be uploading each place separately as I get them ready to view.

Beautiful brown thrasher right across the creek from me. Fit in perfectly with all the different shades of brown in December.

Elder Whitewash a fungi not someone drying his painting brush. Not much fungi around I thought this looked nice against the green and brown.
In the Fall, pairs of raptors return to their nesting territory to prepare for baby season. I have a favorite pair of red-shouldered hawks that I've watched for 7 years. Each year they return to the same territory to mate & work on the same nest. This is one of the pair watching over the territory. This early in the season I cannot tell them apart unless they are side by side. She is slightly larger. Behavior is an easier way to tell them apart. During mating obviously but also it is the male who will bring gifts of food to the female during courting and while she is brooding. They both work on the nest & they both take turns brooding and tending to chicks.

A stylized blackbird with geometric shapes perches on a branch against a full moon, set against a deep blue night sky. The bird's beak is bright yellow, contrasting with its dark body and the light of the moon.
This is actually what happens when you get in a big hurry in the morning and get your head on backward. I hate it when that happens. Really nothing more than a young Brown Pelican at rest atop that old snag in the middle of Armand Bayou near the Nature Center boat barn.
