Renewal

Spring, the season for renewal...

Starting today, the past is over,













all perceived hurts are forgiven,
and I will cease to blame.

Circle B Bar Reserve

It was sunny and a cool breeze blew over the marsh. It seemed a nice day for a ride before lunch. A few white pelicans and roseate spoonbills lingered at the Reserve.

Pelican

Honeymoon Island

Magical, powerful, unselfish, buoyant, light...

"The pelican holds the knowledge of how to rise above life's trials...freeing oneself from that which would weigh you down."

Honeymoon Island, April 2009

The air was cool, and the sky and water were a brilliant blue....

Early afternoon, a heavy mist drifted across the water, enveloping us.

Lessons From the Owl

Owl Wisdom

" The owl is the bird of magic and darkness, of prophecy and wisdom."

The wing design of the owl allows it to fly slowly and silently, which enhances it's hunting ability. For greatest success, owl teaches one to "keep silent and go about your business." Additionally, owl is symbolic of clarity and "a unique ability for seeing into the eyes and souls of others."
