A beautiful sunrise in the changing forest as song Birds serenade the morning light. Flitting Butterflies, a flying Squirrel plus hanging out at the breakfast club with a Chipmunk and a Chickadee.  It was a perfect late summer hike.

Don’t forget to get outside and play… the trails are waiting!

Beautiful Beings On An Early Soul Day Hike

July is the birthday month for both myself the 4th and my husband the 16th.  So we celebrate our special Soul Day on the 10th of July.  This year we took an early morning hike and were blessed with the beauty of seeing many beings in the Forest.

Breakfast was stuffed in the mouth of a chipmunk as above a pair of warblers (Vireos I think) collected nesting materials.

A lovely Whitetail Doe pick at us from the brush then stepped fully out into the open.  We did not want to startle her as it was clear she is nursing at least one fawn.  She turned several times on the trail pausing to eat and then leap up a small rise.  I sprinted down the trail once he was gone to a rock look out and saw her in the ravine below with a fawn and a juvenile Doe.

Near the end of our hike a flash of red in the pines alerts us to the presence of a family of Summer Tanagers.  A vibrant male in transitional colors, a tiny buff green chick and a female in her green.

It was a perfect start to our Soul Day!

Love to ALL!

When you Free your Soul to the song of the Forest Nature transforms your Heart. ~ Lee Hiller

It is is difficult to blend into the Forest when you are a flying Zebra. They blend with ease into the bare Tree limbs awaiting the opening of the leaf buds poised on the tips of each branch.   As the bare winter Trees are painted in spring leaves their black and white will diminish as the perfect camouflage.   The tiny Black and White Warbler is as beautiful to the eyes as it’s song is to all who listen with their Heart.

Kicking the Kids Out of the Nest

Yesterday I stepped out for a quick (2  1/2 hours) afternoon hike and witnessed a Mom kicking the kids out of the nest.  For about 20 minutes she chased, barked and nipped at her kits to keep them in the Trees on the opposite side of the trail.  Tough love from a Squirrel mom.

Further along the trail a tiny Yellow Rumped Warbler was singing a sweet song as Male Cardinal was photo bombed by a White-Throated Sparrow. Vibrant orange Leaves glowed in the winter Forest lightng my way home.  It was a perfect winter hike!

Love to ALL!
