Enjoying The Fall

Hello Friends! Tonight’s Feature Image is titled “New England Asters 100620a” and is available for purchase by clicking the thumbnail and reaching out to me on the contact page.

My big blue truck carries me down the quiet country lane. The October day is mild. Not too warm but warm enough to enjoy the fresh air that flows through the open window. The ditches on either side of the road are lined with the most beautiful little purple flowers. I tend to subconsciously think of Spring as the season of flowers as the mountain wakes from it’s long winter nap and while it looks like there’s more variety in the types of flowers in Spring Fall certainly has an abundance of Asters. Even better is the way that the purple and blue are offset by the red, yellow and orange of the changing leaves. Right now our mountains look as though a rainbow collapsed across the landscape and stained the forest. Sometimes I’m asked about what my favorite season is and I have to think about it. Each has it’s own special something that touches my soul. When it comes right down to it I guess that I’d have to say that my favorite season is “Today”. Life is the moment that we have and it’s ever changing. The colors of Fall will only last a few short days before the wind and rain washes over God’s canvas and clears it for the next work. So don’t spend that ever fleeting second on things that don’t enhance your life in some way. Instead, set aside a little time to shut down the electronic world and breathe in the real world outside your door. The wind, sun and rain speak to you just as loud if you listen and their words are peaceful.

Good night friends and be blessed throughout your days.

Tiny Wings

Color Photography, wildlife

Hello Friends! Tonight’s Feature Image is titled “Pearl Crescent Butterfly 92520a” and is available for purchase by clicking the thumbnail and reaching out to me on the contact page.

“Timy life is important life” I thought to myself as a slowly crept up on the little orange butterfly. The tiny wings were only about the size of a US quarter but intricately ornate. The cool shadows of Panther Mountain kept the little beauty busy slowly pumping it’s wings to circulate warmth as it fed. It didn’t really seem to mind the giant hovering above it edging his lens ever closer. The tiny butterfly is one of main pollinators of the asters which seem to thrive on my mountain well into December and sometimes into Spring. I look at how detailed the wings are and my science side marvels at how much those patterns help him hide from predators and my spiritual side thinks about how much care God put into designing his color scheme. Insects use more of the spectrum than we do. Their world is one of reflections and shadows and the highlights of the wings make the Crescent Butterfly resemble a flower pedal to the hungry onlookers. The little butterfly finally decides that his camouflage doesn’t fool me and deftly angles it’s wings and is lifted into the air now resembling a fallen leaf.

If God put so much effort into the tiny life in my lens how much more did he care for mankind?

Good night friends and be blessed throughout your days.

October’s Smile

Color Photography, wildlife

The cool October breeze flows across the spillway at Battle Run. Illuminated by the sun, the airborn seed of wild lettuce, cattails and milkweed pass through resembling stars in broad daylight. I close my eyes and listen to breeze as it whispers stories of the landscape it touches. Across the field near the pine trees a pair of blue jays patrol their domain squawking a warning to those who wander too close to their sacred territory. The wind speaks of the horse that raced the front across the open pasture and nearly won the race. Then the breeze invites me to follow along as it shakes the remanent wildflowers to strengthen their stems. As we approach the the thin patch of wildflowers the wind playfully tosses my cap into the field causing me to rush in after it. The hat came to rest at the base of a small cluster of Spanish Needles which I wouldn’t have noticed had the breeze not brought me there. After securing my favorite topper I knelt down for a closer look at God’s creation. The plant was a simple Spanish Needles bloom. What some might call a common weed. But God made nothing without a purpose. Even though we may not recognize the functions that any part of creation serves it’s not a wasted effort by God. Even if that purpose is to grow in a windy field and represent a smile from the creator himself it’s a noble purpose.

And tonight friends, let me pass this smile to you as well and pray that you are blessed throughout your days.

The Grand Dame Of The Meadow.

Color Photography, wildlife

Hello Friends! Tonight’s Feature Image is titled “Crowned 100620a” and is available for purchase by clicking the thumbnail and reaching out to me on the contact page.

With the changing of the season nature robes herself in golden tones. The black-eyed Susan which started as a humble yellow flower growing near a road has transformed herself into a Grand Dame of the meadow. She even sports a golden crown to the seasons ending celebration of color. Soon the season of shadows will begin and the long slumber will fall upon nature leaving only a few evergreens to stand as sentinels against the darkness. But for now the flame of the sun is still reflected in her petals and the crown she earned. She knows better than to waste her flame on the fear of changing seasons for each moment spent in dread is a living-time wasted.

Enjoy the moment you are living in, rest well tonight and be blessed throughout your days.

Living In Your Purpose

Color Photography, wildlife

Sweet & Sunny 90820a — Hello Friends! Tonight’s Feature Image is titled “Sweet and Sunny 90820a” and is available for purchase by clicking the thumbnail and reaching out to me on the contact page.

Sunshine fills the little valley with it’s creeks and meadows alive with the buzzing of tiny wings. Her work is not labor. The secret to her diligence is not in discipline to do that which is undesirable but the desire to do that which is natural. I often consider that many of the problems of the artificial world that controls so much of our lives is rooted in methods that go against the natural flow of life. A single bee weighs .00025 of a pound and over the course of it’s lifetime it will produce a tablespoon of honey. How much work does this represent? A honeybee lives between 122 and 152 days and will visit 5000 flowers per day to produce enough honey to sweeten a single cup of tea. And she does this with a happy attitude.

They say that if you can get paid to do what you love then you’ll never work a day in your life. My observation is that if you are living in your purpose then you’ll enjoy what you’re doing and the rest is just circumstance.

Good night friends and be blessed throughout your days.
