Creatures like this live freely upon this earth in harmony with humans. None of them are in a cage, locked up behind bars, they are not domestic pets, and they all live without being in captivity. Have you ever noticed that when a human comes upon a squirrel, many will stop and look you straight in the eye? Some will even pose, like the … (32 comments)
I am thankful for trees. They are forever giving back to the community. Sometimes they have to shake and loose their leaves to get noticed, but I notice that without trees, the earth would be bare.

Leaves may change and fall to the ground, but they are never really gone completely. Truly, I am thankful for the trees and their leaves and the happy homes they give to birds and squirrels … (13 comments)

Pond life is always interesting. My first encounter was with a family of turtles sunning on a rock in the middle of the pond. Next came the Great Blue Heron under a bridge. I spent time observing the Heron and even trailed behind as he went down the path … (11 comments)
I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree, A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth's sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. …Joyce Kilmer, "Trees," 1914

The Japanese Gardens at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens is a beautiful place for humans to replenish and fuel up on energy. In this first photograph I observed how the sun is captured by leaves as the light flickered … (34 comments)
I enjoy selling residential properties in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I began my career in January 2003 full time and never regretted my decision to become self-employed. I have built my business by referrals and repeat business. I care enough to provide quality service to succeed in business. My passion is understanding the needs of the people who want to buy and sell Real Estate. I'm an advocate for education.
