"Supermoon" rises over Marietta on 19 March 2011



 
Georgia

Georgia

A song of you

Comes as sweet and clear

As moonlight through the pines

I feel like Snow White!


Little gray screech owl, Olivia, sunning at her front door around 630pm EDT today.


And as I take her picture, she drops down into her box --- and a bluebird flys over to see what's going on.  Can you see him perched on the branch up in the top left corner of this photo?

A season of renewal


Many months have passed since my last post.  Life interrupted my blogging - I hiked in gorgeous autumn-leafed Gatlinburg with my wonderful sister and celebrated Christmas with loving family. Sadly I lost both The Helens within days of each other, but I have been thrilled to help my parents fill in some of the blanks in their past family histories.  Now I am reveling in the joy of rust colored Oscar and grayish Olivia Owl nesting in the box just outside my kitchen window, planning the Cajun Roots Road Trip, the July Alaska Cruise and the September Switzerland hike - all while enjoying the beauty that is Georgia in the spring.  My yoshino cherry, weeping cherry and tulip magnolia trees are all in bloom, as is the forsythia.  Soon the dogwoods and azaleas will join in.  I couldn't ask for more!
