Today I ran my morning miles in sunshine, underneath blue skies still shaking off yesterday’s snow filled clouds.
This afternoon, I walked Langley amongst fat snowflakes dancing and swirling all around us.
It was a good day.

On An Ordinary Day
Eastern Meadowlark.
His songs are the happiest of songs I hear in the spring.
Horses that live in the little valley below our neighborhood.
Langley the Lab loves them.
The first of the three Great Blue Herons Langley and I saw yesterday on our walk.
This one has taken up residence once again at the little creek that I run by daily.
I was so happy to see him back again.
Late afternoon sunlight illuminating pasture land.
Something about early spring time lighting at the end of the day . . .
From the empty fields where Langley was happily romping about.
I’ve downloaded a trial version of Silver Efex Pro 2 and have been having fun playing around with it.
May have to invest in my own copy.
Langley actually flushed out her very first water bird yesterday!
Okay, so it wasn’t a duck or a goose, but I think a heron counts.
She was very proud of herself.
Another Eastern Meadowlark.
They are truly the happiest of birds, and my heart dances with joy when I hear them singing away.
Just as Langley and I were finishing up our walk, I glanced up at the sky and saw another heron soaring into the sunset.
I took these shots from our driveway.
You really don’t have to travel very far to see how beautiful the world can be on an ordinary day.
all these shots were taken with my 70-300mm lens and nikon d7000. that 150-500mm would be mighty hard to lug around while walking the dog.
A Good Day
I have so much to tell you about yesterday and my solo trip back to Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge, but I have seventy-five photos to edit (narrowed down from over 700!), a batch of muffins to bake and Langley needs her daily walk. I will be posting more photos from yesterday over the next few days. Like I said, I took over 700, and just finished narrowing them down today.
And it was really hard to throw some away, but do I really need 30 more images of red-tailed hawks soaring in the blue sky? Yeah, I didn’t think so either.
Suffice it to say that even though I got sunburned and I walked for miles, got muddy and hot, I never had more fun.
