This Moment


i hug my cup in both hands as the steam rises from my tea


i look outside my window and i see life


intense green on the hillsides after the rain


flowers in their first fledgling stages of bloom


birds darting to and fro on missions only they can understand


not at all shy about expressing their happiness for all the world to hear


and cavorting with abandon as they take turns plunging into my birdbath


i sat down here thinking i would make a list of things to do


and didn't realize that this is what i want to do

  3. Oh, these photos make me happy - especially the little bird shaking! I have been spending a lot of time lying on the floor in front of the patio door, watching the little birds peck away at the birdseed I scattered on the ground. It is so fun to watch them. I thought they would entertain Atlas, but they entertain me more. :)

  6. your photographs are incredible. Each time my I scroll down a bit more to reveal another photograph my breath gets taken away a bit more. You are so incredibly talented.

    I wish I was seeing all of this blooming life around me. Instead everything is blanketed in white.
