Two roads diverged in a wood and I – I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. ~Robert Frost

When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing – just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park? ~Ralph Marston

Unfortunately I did not have my zoom lens on when we encountered this eagle. But the experience was too good for me not to share!

We’ll take ourselves out in the street
And wear the blood in our cheeks like red roses
We’ll go from car to sleeping car and whisper in their sleeping ears
We were here, we were here
We’ll set off the geese of Beverly Road

Hey love, we’ll get away with it
We’ll run like we’re awesome, totally genius
Hey love, we’ll get away with it
We’ll run like we’re awesome

We won’t be disappointed
We’ll fight like girls for our place at the table
Our room on the floor
We’ll set off the geese of Beverly Road

Hey love, we’ll get away with it
We’ll run like we’re awesome, totally genius
Hey love, we’ll get away with it
We’ll run like we’re awesome

We’re the heirs to the glimmering world
We’re the heirs to the glimmering world
We’re the heirs to the glimmering world
We’re the heirs to the glimmering world

We’re drunk and sparking, our legs are open
Our hands are covered in cake
But I swear we didn’t have any
I swear we didn’t have any

Hey, love, we’ll get away with it
We’ll run like we’re awesome, totally genius
Hey, love, we’ll get away with it
We’ll run like we’re awesome

We’re the heirs to the glimmering world
We’re the heirs to the glimmering world
We’re the heirs to the glimmering world
We’re the heirs to the glimmering world

Oh, come, come be my waitress and serve me tonight
Serve me the sky tonight
Oh, come, come be my waitress and serve me tonight
Serve me the sky with a big slice of lemon

We’re the heirs to the glimmering world
We’re the heirs to the glimmering world
We’re the heirs to the glimmering world
We’re the heirs to the glimmering world

Playing with light

In the flush of love’s light, we dare be brave. And suddenly we see that love costs all we are, and will ever be. Yet it is only love which sets us free.

I think that the ideal space must contain elements of magic, serenity, sorcery and mystery.

Two Orange Baby Buffalo!

DSCF7384 — Little Man is the alpha of the herd, there at the front. If you call him, he’ll come running. The herd follows right behind.

DSCF7386 — Heading to the food source…..us. We feed them celery, apples, sweet bell peppers, and bread. Lots of bread!

DSCF7388 — Baby always stays very close to mom. Both calves are approximately three weeks old.

DSCF7389 — They’re acting much more alert than my last visit.

DSCF7402 — There are two different kinds of buffalo, and this mom has the horns that go up and straight as opposed to horizontal and curl in.

DSCF7420 — Got them both in one shot. And luckily enough, I got mom tongue for each! 🙂

DSCF7415 — You can see the real color contrast in this photo.

DSCF7432 — Baby was pretty curious of us.

DSCF7446 — What are the odds the Good Year blimp was flying overhead? (things that make you think)

My friend Sami and her two daughters with their two friends (and Sami’s friend) came out to meet and feed the buffalo. It was fascinating to watch the buffalo respond to the girls. They followed them up and down along the fence line. Maybe it was their energy level.

This next photo set are of the girls collection of wild daisies, discovering an abundance of ladybugs, and offers to “ladysit” each other’s bugs. It was quite the picturesque activity!
