The Great White Egret has a yellow bill and green around the eyes.







God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good (Gen. 1:31).












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

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.

It’s great fun
to walk on ice
especially if you’re
a duck
or a goose





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.

A Sunday afternoon walk takes me first to this snowy field. I look toward the east at the bright snow and the beautiful blue sky.

A familiar scene; a frozen creek look down from a bridge.

Headed back; on my way home.

I take a detour.

The narrow way. Jesus said, “I am the way the truth and the life.”

Ah, the evergreens. They are beautiful contrasted with the dark blue sky.
