Connections



I have been trying to gain control of my photographs that I have been taking and saving on the computer.   I have been saving them but not going through them and putting some sort of order, so the last few days I have been going through all of them.   I came across this photo yesterday, I think it is a  Northern Mockingbird that I had the pleasure of coming across in late spring.  

It was one of those stressful days and I thought a walk with the camera would do me some good.   It was about a mile into the walk and I heard this bird singing.   As I walk closer I thought I would snap a few shots of it.   It took notice of me and seemed like it was posing for me.   We eyed each other up for a bit as I caught a few more shots.    As I started to move on down the road to continue the walk it flew in front of me and landed on a phone line and waited for me to catch up.   It looked down and me and just started to chatter at me like I was its new best friend.   I looked up and our eyes connected and it was like we had this instant connection even though we couldn't understand each other’s language.    We enjoyed each other’s company for about 5 minutes before parting ways.

Cardinals on the walk and a spiritual funk


Over the years we have lived in several cities in many different states.  In each location there is always some kind of wildlife that I that I take a liking too.   Over the last week I have really notice the Cardinals on the path that I have been walking on.   I love how their bright red sticks out in the greenness of the bushes.  I love how they are all puffed up with the cool weather.     I have been striving to take the perfect photo of one of them to do justice on how beautiful they are.    



Recently I have found myself in a spiritual funk.  I’m really not sure what has caused it as of yet.  I also don’t really know how to solve it either.   I think that one of the reasons is that we don’t have a regular church.  It may be that I have been so busy doing other things and not taking the time to worship God as I should as well.  In the end I am going to try to focus on this part of my life and get it back to the way it used to be or even better.  I guess it is like any relationship and there is ups and downs.
