I just love where we live.  As I have mentioned many times, we live on the top of 6 “lakes” or ponds, and then behind that, we have a big huge opens space area too.  Even though we live in a suburb or both Denver and Boulder, we are very blessed to have a lot of nature all around us.  With all this current chaos and craziness, about all we can do is walk, so we are doing a lot of walking.  Vinnie is absolutely loving it, every step of the way too.  Poor Lucie can’t do long walks any more, so she stays at home and protects the homefront, eagerly awaiting our return.  Here are the sights we took in from our latest walk-about around the lakes.

This is our view from the bottom of our 4th lake.

Our first blue heron of the season.

We saw quite a…

In my little neck of the woods, I have a wide variety of landscapes all in one, which means there is a wide variety of wildlife as well.  I have the lakes, which gives us all the ducks, geese, and various other aquatic birds, turtles and fish.  After the 4th lake, depending on what direction we go, we either venture into the open space, giving us the prairie dogs and non-aquatic birds or back around through the marshy areas and more lakes.  The open space flows directly into open “prairie land”, that then takes us into the creeks, giving us more ducks and geese.  And all of this is right in my backyard too.  All of this makes it sound like we live out in the “whoop whoops” as my dad used to say, but we are really right off a major street that is a heavily traveled route, taking…

Aside from all our big, beautiful water birds, like our ducks, geese, pelicans, herons, egrets and cormorants, we also have a wide variety of beautiful small birds too.  The things we see most are the swallows, sparrows, robins, spraques, doves, magpies, red-winged black birds and orioles.  But we have many other types of beautiful small birds too.  I try to capture them all on the camera as much as possible, but often times they are just too quick for me, and as soon as I get them in focus, they fly away.  This happened the other day when we saw this beautiful bright yellow bird that we had never seen before.  I tried and tried to get him in my sights, but could not do it.  I will keep trying though.  Here are some of our small birds that we call friends and neighbors too, that I have been able…

I spoke to the Moon and the stars.

The Stars told me they shine despite the darkness that surrounds.

The Moon told me it luminates it’s light from the Sun despite it’s loneliness…

I spoke to the Moon and the Stars… And they taught me how to shine..

If ever I felt unloved.

It’s not that you are too broken to have hope.
That all you have ever known as an emotion is pain,
and love.. was a mere fiction.
That the world formulated the word love so as to blind the world to your woes…
No… It’s because despite being in fragments of who you were made to be…You emit a light so pure..
It draws love to you..

You can see right through us
We are hollow and empty
Futile creations earnestly seeking to fill this endless void,
Always looking for something to stuff the holes left in our souls
To become complete
As we once were from conception.
But this is deception
For we have seen what happens to the best of us that have long ceased to exist.

We were once wanted
Once upon a time we were loved,
We felt warmth and chills inside.
This feeling was Benign
But once utilized as assumedly purposed
We were left feeling used
Mistreated, till they left us broken
What we once knew as hearts are now just shards of glass that settled at the bottom of our feet

I guess that’s why its so hard to move forward
Is this all that we were made for?
To satisfy your lust and be tossed aside once the chalice of…
