Does the woodpecker pause to notice the beauty of his surroundings? I might have focused my lens on this Downy, but it is the background colours that speak to me now (featured image). I caught the river in a particularly still moment (above) until something disturbed the calm allowing me to create the dreamy image […]

Who doesn’t love a bird? Their sweet songs, flitting natures, and ability to soar all admirable qualities.

Doctors write me a report to accompany our journey, and we head out in November. It’s a struggle at first and I’m doubting my ability to […]
