On the Country Roads. Old Shed

Someone built this little shed many years ago. Back then the fence was straight and the wood was still sap-bright and smelled of pine.  

For decades, the shed was the heart of the farm. But over the years, the farm grew quiet and only the shed remained, leaning into the wind, as if preparing for a storm.

Winter Gathering

Tundra swans have already arrived at the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge.

Breeding in western Alaska, they stop in northern Utah each year to rest and refuel before continuing their long journey home. We are fortunate to witness their beauty, even if only for a short time.

Generally, life is good.

 

Other Reality

 

Between reflection and flight, another world is born.

Power of Wings. American Bald Eagle Takes Off

 

After a long stretch of basking in the sun, the Bald Eagle lifts off from his "hammock".  

The day ahead would be spent searching for food, but by evening the eagle would return to his favorite place to rest and observe the world before night falls.

Generally, life is good.
