A Small Feather

As I was watering the garden early this morning after my walk, I noticed this small tri-colored feather on the patio.  I am not sure what kind of bird it has fallen from, perhaps a mockingbird?  It's so pretty that I brought it inside and now it's adorning the mirror above my desk, along with a few other little objects.




 

A Beautiful Sunset

Hurricane Marie (from which we are in no danger at all) has been sending us some amazing clouds, and as the sun was setting on Saturday, there was such a beautiful sunset.

In the Night

It's been so hot here for weeks, that once things cool down a bit about 9:00 at night, I like to step out to the back yard to enjoy the cooler air and the quiet nighttime views.  Maybe say a little prayer to thank the Lord for the day that has just passed.

 






Moon in the Morning

One morning last week the moon was full and beginning to descend in the western sky . . .  as I walked around the block a few times, I took the opportunity to play around a bit with perspective (the last two photos).





 

Hawk

 


I was able to get out early enough last week for a morning walk that I saw the neighborhood hawk high up in the cypress tree, scouting for his breakfast!
