A week ago this was a beautiful, flowering Milk Thistle. The bees and butterfly’s have taken their turn, now it’s thistledown ... natures seed dispiseral mechanism to assure the next generation. This is beautiful.

This picture speaks to me deeply today. Sometimes when I can’t sleep due to stress or a mind on overdrive, I reflect on scenes like the one captured in this photo ... nearly still water, a clear, warm and embracing sky. It is peaceful, while holding the promise of a warm sunrise. The promise of another day, and another adventure.
The news of the past day was full of sadness and loss. Embrace those you love, and find peace in experiencing today! We can do better, together.

Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias)
Saturday morning Teresa and I took a walk on the bike path along the Great Miami River just south of Piqua, Ohio. It was shortly after sunrise and there was not much bike or runner activity on the path. We saw a couple deer, and a squirrel. I was looking for this blue jay that has been in the area recently. I didn’t have any luck with that. We did see a beautiful cardinal, and a dove or two.
On the way back to the car, we cross a bridge over the river. As I came around the corner, I saw this beautiful Great Blue Heron. It was flying crossing the river, just south of where I was clearing the trees that line the banks of the river. I didn’t have any time to setup for the picture. I was pleased with how it came out. I lost it in the trees after one shot.

Update: I love this shot, it’s not something I would frame and hang on the wall. I just don’t have time to frame a good shot. I hope you enjoy!

This monarch butterfly flys by me, continuing for about 30 feet, then lands facing away from me. I zoom in, and start snapping pictures. She proceeds to do this dance, slowly shifting until she is looking directly at me. Those beady eyes are not a photoshop .. that is exactly how it looked when I took the picture .. at 30 feet or so. I am truly in awe of nature, every day!
