Yellow-throated Warbler

Yellow-throated Warbler

"Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.".   ~Henry David Thoreau

This was probably the second or maybe the third time that this bird visited the tree where the feeders hang.  I was so excited that it came back.  It's a very quiet bird and at first I didn't even see it but luckily it caught my eye and I had just enough time to snap these before it flew off.

Wishing everyone a magnificent Monday.  Until next time happy blogging.

Tree and Sky


"The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend."  ~Henry David Thoreau

A photo of a tree I took a short while back.  I love the sky in the background and thought black and white was more dramatic.  I found the quote, liked it and thought I'd share it with you.

Bluebird Happiness


"The Bluebird carries the sky on his back."  ~Henry David Thoreau

Wow!  I can't believe I saw a bluebird in my backyard today.  I was in the kitchen and saw a little yellow bird flitting around on the ground and went to get the camera.  When I walked out I saw what I thought was one of the little yellow birds in the branches of a bush growling along the back fence but when I looked through the view finder this is what I saw.  Some of the photos didn't come out to well but seeing how it's a bluebird I'll take what I get.  Oops I just saw that my photos aren't aligned properly!!

Light


"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see."
~Henry David Thoreau

This is a Plumbago flower.  The original was pretty but I'm so obsessed with the glamour effect that I had to use it.  It gives the blooms a dream like appearance and I like that. I hope it isn't too bright.  Happy Wednesday!

Sea Oats


This past Sunday I journeyed to Emerson Point Preserve.  It's a nature preserve where you can hike, bike, picnic and swim.  There were mounds of sea oats growing along the beach.  I thought they were pretty blowing in the breeze.
