“Please, let me stuff myself full with beauty, drink light for breakfast, for lunch, for dinner - never again take a Tuesday for granted.” - Julia Fehrenbacher
Hello friends! We had a big storm Sunday night that I was not expecting, so my brain isn’t firing on all cylinders as I’m writing this. Nothing a good night’s sleep won’t fix, though!
Here are my photo choices for today:
August 5, 2026
It’s been a really good year for the mallards. So much water! I can see the white duck’s lineage is still showing up, though I haven’t seen the white duck for a few years.
Young baltimore oriole’s chasing each other around and looking for berries.
Always happy to see and hear as many meadowlarks as possible!
Whatever you have to do to get the good stuff!
This time of year I get to play with colors, light, shadows, focus and blur. (widow skimmer)
Female indigo hiding in the bushes. I wonder what’s got her attention?
Second batch of baby bluebirds! (maybe even 3rd?)
Baby brown thrashers too!
Rabbits are convinced that if they freeze, they are invisible.
Downies are our smallest woodpeckers, but they are feisty.
I often wish I had wings I could fold around myself.
Red admiral, side view.
Red admiral, wings open!
Happy bee!
This is a strange-looking plant!
Queen Anne’s lace looks like a heart that bursts open to reveal its flowers.
Sometimes it helps to soften your gaze and look at the world a little out of focus.
I’m wishing for a quiet weekend, full of sweetness.
