Bald Eagle
It rained all day, shying the people away, we have the whole park to ourselves. On our way out, we spotted this companion on top of the tree: A majestic bald eagle, exuding his power without even trying.

Spring Rain
Waking up to a light rain, it made me lighthearted right away: spring rain! It’s a soft sprinkling, nurturing all the plants and creatures on earth. During my morning meditation, I am so naturally feeling immersed into the zone, as if the rain is drizzling on me and through me, like a caressing by nature.…

Valentine’s Gift
Today’s sunset afterglow was amazing! Totally unexpected, all is dark and cloudy, people almost totally gone, giving up hope for a picturesque sunset. Close to 6pm, I saw a hint of rosy cloud show up, and my hope went up. In less than 5 minutes, the sky was totally burning, with the reflection on the…

The Snow Moon Is Coming
The Snow Moon is coming, today is the last day of January. Life marks its calendar. On our way out to see the birds, we saw a pair of coyotes running across the road ahead of us in bright daylight, in the marsh area. The Ross Geese are back, singing their winter carol. Something about…

Deer Herd
It’s late, and I was trying to get my hike done before dark. I carried a walking stick, since it’s in the mountains. The trail was quiet, most of the hikers are done for the day. In the distance, I saw two people, I was actually happy to see some companies, even just passing by.…

Every Sunset is Different
Every sunset is different. The sky is different, I’m different. It’s the changing screen of cosmic view; it’s the unstoppable life force. I made a run to the highest open spot yesterday to cheer this spectacular sunset with my heart, echoed by the new rising moon.

A Moment Like This
There will never be a moment like this: a deer walked out of the woods towards me, carrying the sun behind him, casting a magnificent silhouette of his newly grown antlers, like an angel with wings. “Hello, you are here too!” We said to each other.

Secret Garden
It’s a quiet early spring afternoon, behind an old house on top of the mountain. Daffodils are in full bloom, an open picnic table under the tree that rarely sees visitors; a rugged fence chewed by time frames this little peace heaven into its own world. Spring is overflowing in the air. Wind is blowing…

Travel Light, Go Far
It’s that time of the year, the Ross Geese and Sandhill Cranes are flying north again. We always go back to the wetlands and check, make sure they are really gone. We were a little late today, dusk light already painting the landscape into a silhouette. I was feeling disappointed that no birds are left; they…
