moon oft reminds
mystery sublime
mother for very first time
father full of Abba’s duty

star rising east
pales moon mist clouded
heavens foretell life shrouded
my heart weeps for their unseen loss

Bethlehem hills
as donkey nears gate
careful of rider’s slight weight
seem to call tired trio home

tis birthing eve
journey now distilled
parents’ vows will be fulfilled
manger and promised birth await

Christmas Blessings to you this night and all through the year

WALK0090 Mar 20 2015  23-18-43 Haw River eagle postcard

as I composed this shot, I found myself thinking of my great grandmother’s postcard collection
and then I realized that the eagle was also remembering…

WALK0744 2 eaglets on a tree b and w 2015

The immature eagles had spent the afternoon playing king-of-the-hill, so to speak, with this dead tree as the prize roost.
I finally caught two of them, against a very wintery sky, as they tried to land at the same time.
The bird to the left is a 3 year old and the eaglet to the right is a 2 year old.
Given the size disparity, I would guess the bird to the left is male and the one to the right a female; my guess!
