of the woods
You only need sit still
long enough
in some attractive spot
in the woods
that
all its inhabitants
may exhibit themselves
to you by turns
Thoreau

I know and am acquainted
I know and am acquainted
with all the birds of the mountains
and the wild animals
of the field are
Mine and are
with Me
in My mind
Psalm 50:11

i got outside today. it was sunny.
i like the photos...especially the last one, i don't know why.
Gorgeous! I esp. love that guy staring back at you! After having seen pictures of your home, I better understand how you can get such wonderful photos from inside. Of course talent helps! :>)
What a beautiful view you have! I'm not sure who is watching whom!
What a beautiful view you have! I'm not sure who is watching whom!
Wow! And I love that black edge all around the deer's ears, so beautiful!
Fun photos to see--thanks for sharing.
It seems you were really blessed with visitors today...the ones that only God can direct.....
Beautiful....
So beautiful, that owl is spectacular!
Woo! In the wake of those photos, that verse from Psalms TOTALLY brought tears to my eyes. I am so thankful to have a real relationship with the Heavenly Father depicted in Psalms. I love, Susan, how your blog reflects Him, too.
Those are breathtakingly beautiful moments. A gift from God himself, captured perfectly on film for us to enjoy too. Oh, thank you, Susan! I can't wait for my kids to wake up tomorrow morning to see these pictures of peace.
How wonderful to be able to sit and take photos like these. Living in a city we sure don't get photos like that.. They look wonderful.
Look at the owl ... it's beautiful. I really like the Thomas quote and the psalm I used recently in my blog but I like the version you have used here better.
This woodland visit warms the soul, Susan... especially loving the rare treat of seeing the owl. We do not see or even hear owls where were are now... I miss them! Happy Week :o) ((HUGS))
What an amazingly peaceful view you've shared with us! Thank you!
The owl is just stunning- and so BIG. Such great captures and I could sit myself for hours waiting and watching for the visit of a few animals such as these.
Love the image of the owl.
stunning shots as always Susan, you must be so patient to wait for them to come :) Love the owl especially - they are so hard to capture!!
That OWL! So elegant. And that verse made me weep with the recognition of His tender love for all of His creation...
~ Wonderful ~
Did that this weekend... hawks, crows, and an eagle were flying together. It was amazing.
Blessings.
Did you see these from your window? The owl is a very rare and beautiful shot.
Wow! I don't think I've ever seen an owl in the wild. And I love in the country!
Lucille, the first two photos were taken through a kitchen window and the last photo through a bedroom window.
How did you get that magnificant owl? I keep trying to see them--only hear them. Loveley, Susan
Sue, the owl was on the edge of woods just sitting in the tree for almost 45 minutes. I suspect it was watching for lunch.
This reminds me of Parker Palmer talking about how we need to be quiet so the soul can come out. We're often so busy and loud, it stays hidden.
Such beauty and grace, Susan. I am lifted up just drinking in the beauty of your photos and the Scripture and poem that accompany them. You are blessed to see such beauty outside your door!
Blessings,
Janis
I love your wildlife shots! That owl is a beauty!
Oh, this is the most delightful and meaningful post...scripture, quote, and photos.
You get to see these lovelies from your house? Oh wow - how amazing! What gifts God gives you!!
For those of us who live in cities, these pictures minister to our souls. Thank you.
i do admire your patience. xox
Oh wow. What great captures.
