This is my place for writing and reflecting on life here in the mountains. Close to the sky, close to my children and family and most certainly feeling the closeness of God my Savior.
Lovely photos David and they embiggen beautifully. Oh those blue skies! I hope your aches and pains have gone. Try not to do so a hefty lot at once. Netchick sent me - it's 6.31am here and I'm off to get breakfast. Have a nice day:)
I love looking at the constellations of the night sky. I've never gone to an observatory, that would be fun for me- Nice bird pics, my cam doesn't get good zoom shots- even tho I see them near me with eyes, they're too small in my pics usually. Happy February-
I love the pictures, David. The eagle one must have been difficult to get in focus like that since I'm sure you were using a very long lens. Of course paddling pictures are always my favorites and that's a very nice looking lake for a kayaking trip.
Thanks pat! Snaggle and Dave, I use a "loaner" Sony 5.1 mp with a 12x zoom mostly set on automatic from a rocking kayak the long lens is a bit hard to hold still so I rely on cropping it in Picasa to get the zoom I want BobKat, Yes it was so fun, and good healthy exercise, I am glad you are helthy, It is good to be alive
In the fall, I love going up to Squamish (north of Vancouver) to watch the eagles congregate to feed on the spawning salmon. So many eagles, all in one place, it's pretty incredible.
The world is a lovely place when you actually stop to appreciate it.
Bluest: it does appear coolish, since it is surrounded by snow and there may be ice on some shady inlets. It was badly frozen onlty three weeks ago, it has warmed to around 37F or 3C. Not for swimming!
Living life, higher at 7000 feet elevation. Where the smell of pines, a distinct nip in the air, the sunset and sunrise displays of color and light fill your soul and set your spirit soaring. From high atop the mountains, nowhere near the city, I think, I write, I try to make you laugh. It is just me, my oxygen deprived brain and my bird and squirrel friends.
I am a lover of God, and I am a lover of life. My three wonderful children help me be a better man, and I consider fatherhood my most important role. These kids have made my life meaningful and filled with beauty. Nothing compares to them or gets between us.
My mom lived 91 years and as youngest I was privileged to make sure she was comfortable and safe in her own home, was never alone, had plenty of friends and family coming around. She knew, before she passed away, how much we kids appreciated all she did for us over the many years.
I am the youngest of five. I have ADD and it makes me fun, or irritating, depending on who you ask.
Most of all I am real, so this blog has fun aspects and then serious writings, too. You get both, for one click of the mouse.

So many cool things to see while you paddle! I would love to see Eagles in the wild. They must be wonderful to watch!
We have Herons on a lake near where I live and I like to watch them fish.
Netchick sent me over to say hi this time :)
Thanks for your support during my recent health issue :)
Fab pictures. Enjoy super bowl
Wow David - I love the pictures. I go on raptor runs looking for shots just like the one you've taken of the eagle. Incredible!
Thank you. (Here from Tanya).
(and thank you for all the comments you've given - I really appreciate them)

You have the coolest perspective on the planet. I need to get out on the water more often...and I appreciate the inspiration.
Hope you're well as the new week dawns. Sending good vibes your way from clear across the continent.
