"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread,
places to play in and pray in, where
nature may heal and give strength
to body and soul."

It was our warmest day of spring so far. This little fox squirrel was soaking up the rays and getting some shut eye along with the geese!
So many humans on the planet are yelling at one another, entrenched in believing there is only one way -- their way -- to live and act, and too many are killing each other over clashing ideologies and differing religious convictions.
I can't change much of what's going on. I can only do my little part, and in between caring about the health of the planet and the life that inhabits it, I strive to see the magic and wonder that's out there every day in lots of small ways...
I tackle many dark subjects on this website, but I always make time, and take time, to see the light; to feel the good that it's in the world. For me, it's nature's beauty that gets me through each day. I bring you the images of animals and nature that touch me daily, in hopes of spreading some of the good that I know exists.

It was a real treat to run into a Blue Heron. What beautiful birds. I watched him catch a fish!
I was going to comment about all the discord and hate that seems to be going on in the United States, but I don't have the energy to do the topic justice. When people have their minds made up, there's not much reason to talk because no one's listening. I think fear has spread like some kind of plague and when you get an epidemic of fear going on like we're seeing, people stop hearing and start pointing. There's not much that's more destructive than the actions that follow the kind of fear that's infested our country.
I never understood the religions that are/were grounded in making people fearful. What good comes from making people fearful of their god? Was it a man made intimidation tactic to get people to believe? And what kind of god would want His (or Her) children to be fearful of Him? It makes no sense.
