Artists are shy nocturnal creatures

We writers are shy, nocturnal creatures. Push us into the light and the light blinds us.

John Banville

Random thoughts in red

From what I have observed bloggers are awake at all sorts of hours.

So when ever I log on I am in good company.

We went for a two mile walk tonight just to the store and back.

The railroad track lights went on so I thought we should hurry and get across the tracks before the train came.

There was no train. We waited and it never came.

Weired.

The other day we went and played tennis.

A chicken walks by.

We were pretty much done playing so we follow this chicken and it keeps going straight.

I ask “where is this chicken going?”

My daughter responds “You know where he’s going don’t you?”

I said, where?

He’s going to cross the road.

Hense why did the chicken cross the road?

All of the photographs I put on my blog I have taken myself. I take pictures all the time it’s second nature for me. Get to know me through my photos

The best color

The best color in the whole world, is the one that looks good, on you!

Coco Chanel

Not just fishing today.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

Do you learn best in calm or storm

There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm.

Willa Cather

Think anew and act anew.

The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.

Abraham Lincoln

Can you find the deer?

We saw eight deer out in the field last night but by the time I got my camera out this is all I could capture.

Morning has broken

On my way to work I knew I was going to be late so I stopped to snap a picture.

Life, fishing and poles

If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there’d be a shortage of fishing poles.

Doug Larson

Be as I am – a reluctant enthusiast….a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic

“One final paragraph of advice: do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am – a reluctant enthusiast…a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it’s still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, the lovely, mysterious, and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much; I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound men and women with their hearts in a safe deposit box, and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this; You will outlive the bastards.”
