The Habit of Observation: Taking Time to Notice Things

On the cusp of Spring, a Winter relinquishes its hold on the world....

Take time today

 to watch 

the dance of the seasons

Geese returning...

Flowers blooming...

Snow melting into rushing waters...

Listen to birds calling out from the tree tops...

Look up to the skies

to take notice of clouds,...

tree buds waiting,...

Birds of metal and... 

Birds with feathers...

Enjoying the day with you!
