Hey, it’s cold ..

I often wish you could listen to the conversations that birds share? I’m not sure what these two were talking about, or if they can even communicate, but I’m sure it has something to do with the weather. Have a good week, and enjoy the holiday!

The Ohau coast

While on vacation to Hawaii in 2015, we took a tour from Waikiki to the North Shore on the island of Ohau. I have many ‘favorite’ photos from that trip, but is view is one of them. The array of colors: the blue sky and clouds, the deep black of the volcanic rock ... it was beautiful.

A hawk and a blue sky

I took this photo a few years ago. This hawk was clearly hunting. It was early in the day, I was hunting with my camera.  

A few days ago, we were at the Greene in Beavercreek and a hawk, slightly smaller than this one, flew right in front of us. It had caught a rodent and was flying with it’s freshly caught dinner to someplace to eat.  

Enjoy the day!

And your color is ..

I love this photo of this blue flower. I took this picture on a hot summer day. The temperature outside as I type this is about 19°F.  Winter will come and go, but true friendships last year around.  

On another topic: The color used to represent prostate cancer is light blue. Breast cancer is pink. What really matters is how many life’s we can save.

I wrote a long post about my experience with prostate cancer. You can read it here. I didn’t write it to talk about my story, but to help someone struggling with a new diagnosis of cancer. We can beat cancer together. 

Have a great day!

A race with a Blue Heron

Great Blue Heron

Great Blue Heron

A few years ago, Teresa and I went to a picnic with some friends from work. As part of the activities, we took a boat ride on Lake Lakengren. As we were making a turn, I saw this Great Blue Heron heading our way. As we accelerated, it flies right up beside us. It was beautiful. I captured a few photos, and then said our goodbyes as it few off into the distance.
