Ducks in Flight Over The New River

I would love to live like a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding.

Skywatch Friday - Great Blue Heron In Flight

Be like the bird in flight . . . pausing a while on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, yet sings knowing yet, that she has wings.

— Victor Hugo

Wings of Friendship

Happiness Flutters .....

Black Vulture - Caught in Mid Flap

Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in awareness.

-James Thurber

Many times I hear these creatures before I see them. Their wings make a type of "woosh, woosh" sound as they fly overhead. Quite a thrill to hear!

Dragonfly - A Moment in Time

What the human eye observes causally and incuriously, the eye of the camera notes with relentless fidelity. -Berenice Abbott

Goldfinch Flyaway - Friday Feathers

The goal is not to change your subjects, but for the subject to change the photographer. ~Unknown

This little flyaway goldfinch was seen on the same day as the one I posted yesterday. Some have asked how often I see these little ones .... I see them quite often. Sweet little yellows hanging out in the fields and chowing down on the seeds. Click HERE to hear the variety of songs they sing. (I had to click it twice so you may need to do that.)

Gull Landing ~ Wednesday Wings

We have not wings we cannot soar; but, we have feet to scale and climb, by slow degrees, by more and more, the cloudy summits of our time. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Friday Feathers ~ Shine On!

Like the sky opens after a rainy day we must open to ourselves.... Learn to love yourself for who you are and open so the world can see you shine. ~James Poland

Wednesday Wings ~ Great Blue Flyover

A Great Blue Heron flew over as I was walking on a very foggy Sunday morning - 04-10-11 at Heritage Park, Blacksburg Virginia. What an awesome wingspan!
Spread your wings and let the fairy in you fly! ~Author Unknown

Wednesday Wings - Sandpiper Flight

Exude happiness and you will feel it back a thousand times. - Joan Lunden

A Spotted Sandpiper from last May. Wishing you all a Happy Day!

Wednesday Wings ~ Grateful for the Abundance

Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend ... when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present-love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature, and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure-the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience heaven on earth. ~Sarah Ban Breathnach

Away from the Crowd

Get away from the crowd when you can. Keep yourself to yourself, if only for a few hours daily. ~Arthur Brisbane

Wednesday Wings - Fascinated with Flight

(This pic was taken back in September)

I am fascinated with butterflies and birds in flight. Actually all flying creatures fascinate me. They seem so graceful and carefree.
We are each of us in this world an angel with only one wing. In order to fly we must embrace each other. ~Unknown
