  1. I love this. When I was growing up in Iowa, the redwings always perched on the cornstalks, just like that. Their song’s the most beautiful thing in the world.

    Love this! The redwing often comes to my yard to feed, and often I have seen them on the pond.

  5. Donicia – I am simple person that loves life! I'd say why frown when you can smile! I used to have a blog more a decade ago, but due to spams and hacking etc I was not able to open it anymore. Hence this new blog. As you may have noticed, I'm just a newbie with word press. I started posting on this blog this year 2013 in February. But hasn't been able to regularly update for a while until May this year due to inevitable circumstances. I decided to open a new blog and share my thoughts on some things that catches my attention, photos I took and photos I'll be taking in the future, as well as just randoms whenever something strikes me or when time allows me. I'd like to say Thank You to people who have dropped by my page as well as those who will be visiting this page in the future . Cheers!!!

  14. typewriterpoet – I enjoy many poetry styles but enjoy short poetry the most and a little bit of microfiction, but the challenge of a long poem has it's enjoyment as well!

  17. Gretchen Del Rio – Crestline, California, USA – I first discovered the magic of water based colors when many years ago I began to paint with procion dyes on silk. I loved the unexpected quality of the process. It was so exciting to never be sure what the colors and water would combine to produce. It seemed as though the medium had its own passion. Painting with watercolors and paper is much the same. I love the color combinations and separations that occur spontaneously as the color floats on the water. You can never totally predict what effect will result. If you try to control the medium too much, your painting will be very tight losing its aliveness. The artist must be bold and decisive or the work will not be clear and fresh. It is really like a dance. It becomes a controlled folly in knowing when to let go and when to take charge of the direction that the painting is taking. The images that I paint reflect my emotions and are expression of my life experience. They are not extensively planned, but rather evolve as the painting progresses. I am always surprised by the end result since it comes into being because of what the medium and emotion has suggested. The paintings are from my heart and I always fall in love with the subject. I believe that we are all connected and, if an image touches you, it is because we all have the same heart even though our paths may be different. Most of all, painting what I paint makes me happy. The paintings are my own path unfolding. They are an opening door for me and contain my own passion for life.

  19. RMW and BTC – We are problem solvers, who are very interested in the relationship of mathematics to interactive human behavior. We believe that with only four postulates and two corollaries we can account for virtually all IHBs, gain a better and more truthful understanding of ourselves, discover a more global form of education, and understand the precise conditions necessary for world peace.

    The blackbird does seem alone amidst the cattails.

  20. LB – I'm a woman who loves spending time on the motorcycle and in, or on, any body of water. I love traveling and reading, baking and cooking, taking way too many pictures, and enjoying my family and friends. Life is an adventure, and I want to remember and express my joy for it! This is a journal for me ... so I'll never forget the good times and to remind me of them on more challenging days.

    I love cattails … is this a lake or a river?
