Heron and the Long Neck Stretch

If you put yourself in a position where you have to stretch outside your comfort zone, then you are forced to expand your consciousness.

Side View of a Skink

This is the skink I saw during vacation in North Carolina. Quite interesting little creatures! I posted a different view of the skink HERE in an earlier blog post.

Another shot of a Heron from our vacation over the summer in North Carolina. It was such a treat to see these "big birds.

The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but the thankful heart... will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings.

I am very thankful for you my friends! Hope you have a Wonderful Day!

In Over His Head ~ Almost

Going thru my archives again, pics that haven't been posted but that I've saved. I thought this Ibis looked like it was in "over his head" but it was most likely the perfect place for him to find some food. Sometimes in life, we can feel like we are in WAY over our heads, but eventually find out that it was really the perfect place for us to be at just the right time.

We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.” ~ E.E. Cummings
