Great Herons: Grey and Blue

I was lucky to see both of these great birds in one day, just walking along.

Broken in Years

Posted on April 20, 2022 by Stephen Nielsen

I am sad that
that old tree
has been broken,
just as an old life
is broken in years.
It was a good tree
and a good life, even in its
old years it was lovely.

Good memories of that old tree as it once was.

Muskrat, Beaver or Groundhog

Posted on April 4, 2022 by Stephen Nielsen

I spotted this fellow in the Mississippi River not too far from where I live in Minnesota. At first I thought it was a muskrat. But after looking at its head I think it is either a beaver or a groundhog. I think it’s too big to be a muskrat. The nose and eyes I think are closer to a groundhog. I wish I had a better view of his whole body.

Peaceful evening autumn sky

Sharp needled trees

All is well with my soul

All is well

Great peace have they that love thy law
and nothing causes them to stumble

Things to see on the walking trail

Posted on August 13, 2021 by Stephen Nielsen

This look like a Tiger Lily, but the hot weather has got to it.

All the way there was a paved winding path. And the surrounding trees were thick.

About half-way through the journey I came to a free little library. These are becoming more and more popular in this area of Minnesota. However, I passed up any free books. They seem to be all for the degenerate–romance novels, etc.
