Cherish is my favorite word, and I cherish the ability of turning the routine into a beautiful moment.
Nature creates in me, a spiritual and meditative time to bring peace, harmony and balance, into an otherwise ordinary day~

A Perfect Day for Photography, Well Almost~



Sometimes you just have to sit back and SIGHand take in a deep breath...
Casserole ready, oven catches fire!
Watching a movie on Netflix...motherboard on my personal computer crashes.
Purchase new computer, still in box, take to my computer person, he swiches my old stuff to new computer. 
 I bring computer home...it is NOT the ONE I chose.
I am learning with great difficulty how to work this piece of machinery...
First thing is I cannot find how to save my URL, Name and stuff, so I do not have to keep filling in the blanks. 
If anyone could help me, remind me how, I would be most appreciative~

An Eastern Red-tailed Hawk begins this post. 
It was flying over horse country in our county a few weeks ago.
Just after I had stopped to catch some images, I watched as this work horse walked down the hill and then bit at it's pasture mate, before it got a quick kick...no contact by either was made.
Ha ha those are not the horses teeth you see at the tail, but the white of the tail showing through...whew ;)

The beautiful Autumnal colour of a Balsam Fir tree shimmers in the reflection of the pool where a Mute Swan begins it's morning at Cave Hill Cemetery.
Mallard Ducks are thinking I cannot see them...wrong.
I had never seen a Belted Kingfisher along this body of water before, but was happy to see it on this visit~
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


As the Red-tailed Hawk soared above, it met up with a small flock of European Starlings, but the Hawk was not hunting...not for the moment.
Owners of work horses do not always keep them groomed...this beauty had all kinds of hitch-hikers wound up in her forelock and mane~
 
 
 
 
 
 


Not sure if this is a pony, or a miniature horse, but it sure was adorable!
 


Canada Geese and assorted ducks had to get in on the water reflections~
 
 


After leaving Cave Hill, I drove about 10 miles to Draut Park in St. Matthews and
SMILE...
Yet another Belted Kingfisher making fly byes as I was photographing the Great Blue Heron.
It was a great birding day~
