The Pond King … A Fishy Tale.

Color Photography
Hello Friends! Tonight’s feature image is titled “Reflection And Raindrops 21620a” and is available for purchase by the instructions at the bottom of the article.

Raindrops gently disturb the reflections of the forest on the ponds surface obscuring the image that reaches into the murky depths. Small birds skim the surface as they pursue the retreating insects. The king of pond rises slowly in case the birds drop their quarry into his realm. His eyes are tuned to ripping surface and he knows the difference between a cicada that was carelessly lost and the thousands of raindrops that replenish his kingdom. He can feel each vibration report the precise location of the disturbance. There it is. In the midst of the pitter patter of rain was a plop and then intermittent buzzing of papery wings. The olfactory system of any bloodhound was never as keen as the pond king’s. He knows the birds have dropped a cicada. He moves like a living torpedo. His scales flash as he turns and slips through the water. His mouth gapes wide as he breaks the surface drawing everything in giving him the appearance of a whirlpool. There’s a soft splash and in an instant the cicada is taken. The pond king turns once more to the base of the tree on the edge of the water and the twisted roots which are his castle.

Waiting For Perfection

Color Photography, Thoughts and Musing
Hello Friends! Tonight’s feature image is titled “Waiting For Perfection 61520” and is available for purchase by the instructions at the bottom of the article.

“Oh the waiting is the hardest part.” – Tom Petty

The warm June sun stirs the insects and my guardian barn swallows patrol the yard. With excellent timing they overtake the horseflies making it a little more comfortable to be outside. From my office window I noticed the crimson specks starting to appear on the edge of the forest. Last year the birds got most of my black raspberries but I can’t really be upset since they got most of the biting pests too. But now I enter a phase that’s a bit like torment. I have to wait for the berries to be ripe.

As I was growing up warm brambles ( blackberry, raspberry, wineberry and Logan berry were a true joy on a hot day. We would either work or play in the hot sun but in the times when you could reach one before the birds it was a thirst quencher.

Right now I see several that are just starting to turn while others are stii white almost. But these canes are only the first to turn. I have others that are still green. Picking Brambles is a lesson in having patience. The careless with scars and torn clothing. But it’s easy to have patience while picking. It’s getting to harvest that gives me the fits. After all, the waiting is the hardest part.

The Morning Rise

Color Photography, wildlife
Hello Friends! Tonight’s feature image is titled “Silver Spotted Skipper 61520a” and is available for purchase by the instructions at the bottom of the article.

The widening solar arc will soon reach zenith marking a change in seasons. The days of the full sun are at hand. The tiny Skipper butterfly rests easy in the shade as the sunbeam steadily ebbs closer. Like the ticking of a clock light flows through the porus canopy until it caresses the tiny wings. In response the wings slowly begain to pump distributing life giving warmth throughout the tiny body. The little Skipper suddenly explodes into the air flashing it colors as your flies. Then as I look around my forest I see them all as they wake from their slumber.

Image Titled “Skippers and Hydrangea 61520a”

They all go to work without any delay. The wild hydrangea has finally bloomed and it’s their task to sip the nectar and spread the pollen.

Today’s Quiet Moment On Peter’s Creek

Color Photography, wildlife
Hello Friends! Tonight’s feature image is titled “Tiger Swallowtail 6220” and is available for purchase by the instructions at the bottom of the article.

The gentle guitar softly emanates from the speakers in the Big Blue Truck. The birds seem to respond in chorus to the melody. Small insects float through the sunbeams that filter through the canopy and effect gives them the appearance of living sparks of light. Small flickers of movement in the underbrush tells me that the chipmunk is foraging in the leaves for the little red mock strawberries that dominate the forest edge right now. The bright yellow wings seem to float in on one of sunbeams and land in the sweetbriar looking for a remanent bloom. The butterfly diligently surveyed each branch before a flutter of wings lifts it into the air again. The lull in the bloom means that it will need to work a little harder to feed itself for now but soon the hydrangea will be plentiful and life will be easy again. The beauty of natural cycles means that the difficult times are temporary.

The Soft Morning

Color Photography
Hello friends! Tonight’s feature image is titled “Soft Morning 11620” and is available for purchase by the instructions at the bottom of the article.

The tires on my big blue truck drone out a hum as I leave my beloved mountain for my morning commute. Mid January blesses my life with the morning sun and occasional blue sky broken by the remnants of a passing storm. A slightly opened sideglass allows the crisp morning air to mix with heat coming from the dashboard. The aroma of my morning coffee is stirred up by the circulating air. The river is up slightly from the rain but not so much as to be a threat as I ease off of the road. The sun hasn’t quite topped the mountains but broadcasts it’s light over the ridge giving the illusion of a double sunrise. I paused the playback coming from the speakers in the cab and opened the door. In spite of bright morning a cold wind is spilling over the hills and racing across the three rivers but I don’t really care. All I need at this moment is light, the mountains and river and a little peace of mind. The chill of the wind eventually drives me back into the warmth of the truck and a sip of hot coffee. Like the river, time keeps flowing and drawing me forward to my next destination.
