Good Night Heron

Good_night_heron_1

Flying off into the sunset we say good night to a Black Crowned Night Heron. Not a bad way to end the day. Photographed with an older, forgotten and long gone, point and shoot camera on an evening walk in Ferndale CA. a few years back.

Warm Welcome

Finch_sunrise_1

A male house finch enjoying the ever earlier sunrise as spring marches onward. With rare exception early April seems to mark the time of year we begin to see and hear the finches in our neighborhood each year and as the sun rises earlier everyday they provide a warm welcome to those still crisp but beautiful spring mornings.

Farewell Good Friend

Winter is Still Hanging on.

Not physically, as the tulips are in bloom and windows in the house open during the days, but in my mind.

Each year as winter leaves I look back and desire one more ski through the forest or down a powder filled slope.

Yes, it is hard to say goodbye to a good friend but I can rest assured we will meet again.
