Another day, another walk
The sign above was used for my very first post.
It looks a bit battered and faded since all of those years ago. But, hey, don't we all?!
There are many multi-use trails out here: bike, horse, walking.
This path feels wide open, and easy flat walk (nice), with civilization and nature on each side.
It was well-kept and well-signed. There were so many birds. There were hawks, It seems my walks/hikes/drives are not complete without at least one hawk sighting!
I could only see this one because I watched it land! The others were in flight.
The birdsong was so uplifting. I kept wishing there was a bench along the path to just sit and be and watch. This has become an ongoing wish for me lately...sitting in nature.
I looked for a map online to share here, as Liz does, but my computer kept crashing.
Oh well.
At the crossroads.
It's a tame wild kind of place, where there is wildlife and big sky to fill me.
A place where hawks soar and so do I.
Be well my friends

Last two photos are stunning...turbulent and yet I find them soothing! Hawks are terrific.
In TN, we used to have a red tailed hawk that liked to fly by and perch on one of the crab apple trees. I remember being out back on our little deck, stirring and fussing over my dye pots when all of a sudden, I felt a swoosh over head and the hawk had flown right over me; gave me quite a jolt and felt magical at the same time.
1 inch of rain- a whole week of news...R gets a kick out of the weather here when we get snow...dire warnings, hunker down and we get 2 inches. Coming from Minnesota, he just shakes his head!
So many hawks here, that's what I love
circling ... how the blogs help us do that ... the better to remember and perhaps to see things anew
Marti~ The last two pics - yeas, it's that! How exciting that must have been for you. I would get absolutely nothing done if hawks flew over my home. I'd just pull up a chair and dream :) It sure is funny, that weather perspective, eh?!
Jude~ Like I said...sigh...I could watch them forever.
Liz~ Yes, the blog certainly do that...not only a great place to Be, but a great tool at the same time.
The tree full of birds is great. Saw several hawks this weekend and an eagle! What is it about them that makes us pause, an urge to soar?
Hazel~ Aren't they?! Wow, an eagle too! When we've been on those drives, way back in the hills, we may have seen an eagle, not sure. Sometimes it's hard to tell with the sunlight. As to why, I don't know...a sense of freedom & power?
