Winter Swans


Beautiful swans at Gerard Drive, the Springs, N.Y.


Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis)

The magic of the bluebirds appeared again yesterday. 
It was only the second time that I have ever seen them and it was so deeply moving that I was brought to tears. Their song made my heart sing. 


Eastern bluebirds are quite rare. While they are making a slow comeback in population, they are rarely seen. This group of birds found water and Japanese holly berries (Ilex Crenata fruit).


Their blue feathers stood out against the incoming snow.


A rare and special gift.

Winter wisdom.


The softest thing in the universe
Overcomes the hardest thing in the universe.
That without substance can enter where there is no room.
Hence I know the value of non-action.

Teaching without words and work without doing
Are understood by very few.

Lao Tsu
Tao Te Ching
