Blue Jay - Taking A Big Bite

The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.

~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Blue Jay - Open Wide!

About the image: Taken 01-18-09

This blue jay was hanging out on the feeder wreath and had to open wide to get that peanut!

Wide Open to the Sun

The windows of my soul I throw

Wide open to the sun.

~John Greenleaf Whittier

Blue Jay - Sweet Soul Shining Through

Those true eyes Too pure and too honest in aught to disguise The sweet soul shining through them. ~Owen Meredith

Using His Tail

I see woodpeckers using their tail this way - but this is the first time I've seen a Blue Jay use it like this.

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. ~Michael Jordon

Wednesday Wings - Winter Blues

Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home. ~Edith Sitwell

Happy Wednesday!

Be Aware of Wonder

taken last year during one of our ice/snow events
How many of us go through our days unaware of the wonder around us? Every moment we have on this Earth is a unique gift, and we should cherish those moments and use them wisely ~ And be aware of the wonder around us.

Be aware of wonder. Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.

~Robert Fulghum

On It's Way

(from last January)
Our first snow of the season is on it's way. We are suposed to get 2-3 inches of the white stuff. We had quite the winter last year ~ I am NOT hoping for a repeat.
