Seeing a cardinal perched on our bird feeder today, I went running for my camera. “You’ve taken a million photos of cardinals,” my husband observed. “Yes, and I’ll probably keep taking them,” I replied. Cardinals carry invisible signs that say “Take a photo of me!” put there by their Creator. All I’m doing is obeying.
I went for a walk on this lovely, sunny day and brought my camera with me, just in case. When you have your camera eyes on, you always see something worthy of photographing. You can quote me on that. First up, dried-up leaves. I find the colors in this photo quite arresting. Do you?
As I walked through the cemetery, I had a thoughtful conversation with a squirrel. Here’s how it went:
Me: I see you.
Squirrel: No you don’t.
Me: Yes, I do.
Squirrel: Impossible. I’m not looking at you, therefore you can’t see me.
Me: Nevertheless…
Squirrel, turning to look at me: I see you and I’m horrified.
Me: Okay, bye now.
A sextet of mallards made an appearance. Each male had a female and vice versa. Young love…can baby mallards be far behind?
The earth is the Lord’s,
and the fulness thereof;
the world and they that dwell therein.
Psalm 24:1
I see you and I’m horrified. Delete!

loved all your pictures. The squirrel reminded me of when our kids were little and they would have a blanket over their head and because they couldn’t see us, truly believed we didn’t know where they were. It was sure a beautiful day today Glad you got out for a walk. Barbie

Remember what Jenny Wren said about Glory the Cardinal: “He’s just as fine as he is handsome…. Everybody loves Glory.” Peter Rabbit said that his song was as beautiful as his coat and his coat was one of the most beautiful he had ever seen!

Is that from the Beatrix Potter stories? I’m not familiar with it!

No, even though Peter Rabbit is involved, this is from the Burgess Bird Book for Children by Thornton W. Burgess. We learn a lot about birds from Jenny Wren talking to the animals and other birds in the book.

Thornton Burgess would have been my second guess. We have a few of his books, but not that one. I loved reading his books as a child. Happy Jack! Old Mother West Wind! I’ll have to get those out and reacquaint myself with the stories. ❤️.
