Gratitude revisited … again (Go “G”)

A few weeks back, I wrote a couple of posts on gratitude. I started with a tongue in cheek post, but for a few reasons felt obliged to post a more serious one. Despite the fact that I think it was fairly well written, and I certainly meant what I said … it seems I […]

Weekly Photo Challenge: Journey

[vc_row][vc_column width=”5/6″][vc_column_text]Once again this week’s theme is a bit of a challenge. Not for lack of photos, but rather trying to narrow it down to the ones that best fit the word “Journey”.

A mechanical herd

[vc_row][vc_column width=”5/6″][vc_column_text]As I was wandering the Jungles of South Boston yesterday, I was fortunate enough to get close enough to this herd to get a picture …[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”5242″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]It’s too bad I am not trained in the ways of mechanical husbandry, otherwise I might have been able to help this calf I encountered later.

Dragon Dreams (a journey in “D”)

Soaring! SOARING! Worlds far below. A grand landscape of glorious  mountain terrain … yet not land at all!  Look deeper! Farther! More grand vistas far below. Insignificant creatures!  They cower. Flee. ENVY! Twist of wing … and I plummet! Thrilling rush of blood!! The insignificants are gone, but I am not hungry anyway! With a ripple […]
