Even in winter nature is alive, through the frost and cold temps. These little daffodils keep their blooms. If you look close at the blooms on the left you see a dark speck. It is a bee, maybe one from the hive not sure. But it was enjoying the nectar of the flower. A reminder of the fact that we should all look for the small joys that come to us. Joys to counter the grief that we cling to. I had read that grief is praise for what is lost. So grieve/praise greatly to make a "canoe of tears" for that which is gone to make it's way to the stars.

The Hawk came today. Flying West to East giving out a very strident call. Seemed to say "things are good, get on with it". Oh the human needs to become more of a human in nature. Live On.

  1. Saw a redtail yesterday; the sun shone through his tail feathers making it glow orange. I've noticed a lot of paperwhites blooming around here too. The maple trees already have tiny red leafbuds - they make me think of matchsticks. Seems like just a few days ago they lost all their leaves, and now they're already moving on. Humans seem to be the only thing in nature that wants to hang on to pain (whether grief, anger, etc.) We could learn a lot from those we share this earth with.
