Who’s Making That Noise?

The Red-bellied Woodpecker caught my attention with his noisy chatter. Love that bright mane!

The Downy Woodpecker makes a noise like a squeaky toy. This one seems to have found a tasty tree.

Great captures of the woodpeckers! I always enjoy their percussive accompaniment to bird song in the woods.

Lessons From a Newborn

Rest. Nap as often as you need;life can be exhausting – store up. Cry. Let your feelings be known –your voice is your saving grace. Joy is a whole body experience;immerse yourself in total delight. Hold on to those who love you;your survival depends on them. See the world through new ideas;you never know what […]

Tugging

Is it selfishthis chosen solitude?How I treasure silence,stillness baiting my muse And is it my calmthat attracts chaos?The sorrow of otherslanding on my doorstep What if I rejected pleas,locked out the troubles?How long can I sustainpeace until need answers?
