Nature Lover

St. Francis an advocate to love, enjoy and protect all of God's creation.  This statue was given as a gift  from another nature lover. 

Permission Granted?

This Canadian Goose looked at me as if to say, "Did I give you permission to take this picture?"

Mini Waterfalls

As the snow melts these streams take one life as the water always seeks a lower elevation.  The movement of  the water provides music to the ears and beauty to the eyes.  This one is Lowes Creek just south of Eau Claire.

Finally Returned

I have been waiting for these red wing blackbirds to return. They are a sure sign that spring has arrived.  The male specie are the the ones that make the noise,  usually protecting the nest where the female is hatching the eggs.
