Wordless Wednesday…This Is Why

Good Wednesday morning, Kathy. Enjoy your photowalks and have an outstanding week.

Early morning in Kentlands, Gaithersburg, MD

Good morning, Kathy... those chicks are just too sweet.  I had no idea that deer have the good a sense of smell. 

Good morning Kathy. Deer are great to view if they are not eating your landscaping. Shakespeare had it right about the earth providing music to those who listen. Enjoy your day.

Kathy, although we do enjoy nature, but at this point with all the deer eating our veggies, plants, flowers and using our yard as their personal bathrooms...we've seen enough of them!

This is such a cool series each and every year, and I can tell how passionate you and Larry are about it.

Loved your videos this morning Kathy Streib. Loved the bluebird chicks update..they are so precious!

Kathy Streib - how lovely Mother Nature is in Spring! You captured lots of beauty!

Kathy Streib , A peaceful reminder of how much we can gain by simply paying attention to the natural world around us. Early morning walks often offer moments like this that set a calm tone for the entire day. Seeing wildlife in their own rhythm has a way of putting daily pressures into perspective.

The bluebird update adds such a nice sense of continuity and connection to place. Observing small changes week by week helps people feel grounded and more aware of seasonal cycles. These quiet experiences are often what make neighborhoods and communities feel truly special.

Thank you for sharing a glimpse of the beauty that can be found just by stepping outside and listening.

I was at a spring training Mets game yesterday. One of the fans who was there...I could have smelled him from half a mile away.

I walked outside early this morning to see what the temperature was doing as our nights are cold and days are warm right now. The colors were amazing, it was fun to just stand and watch, to hear the birds chirping and singing.

Hi Kathy,
Nature in all forms is fascinating if we take the time to slow down and pay attention. 

I miss living in the mountains.   I miss seeing the wildlife.  Thank you for sharing your pictures and videos.  

What a sweet reminder to slow down and take in the small wonders around us, Kathy Streib. The mix of deer at dawn and those tiny bluebird chicks waiting for breakfast brought a smile to my face, and it’s a treat to see moments like this shared so openly. Thanks for giving the day a little lift with scenes that feel both simple and kind of magical.

Kathy the bluebirds look like hungry little guys.  They will keep momma BUSY.

Nature is so inspiring, Kathy, especially when experiencing it in real time. Those deer are on a foraging mission and the babies are adorable with their beaks wide open, anticipating a meal!

Being in nature has been my 'go too' for my whole life.  I love being outside to  experience the beauty of wonder of it all Kathy.  Calms me down and also brings a LOT of inspiration to the table.  Love to see the little birdies waiting for Momma to return!

Kathy Streib I love the videos. I saw less deer this winter than usual. Patricia Feager also mentioned Blue Birds and I want to share my comment I left at her post:

My 99 year old uncle Herb is well know for his "Blue Bird" toasts. I believe he has been raising his glass in the name of the Blue Bird all of his life. The last one I heard was at my daughters wedding. I told Tina she must ask Herb for a Blue Bird toast and he did not let her down... it was a wonderful occassion.

Because Herb has been know for his toasts his beautiful 3 story home in NJ is FULL of Blue Birds. The tributes to Herb's toasts are overwhelming.
