Here We Go

Here we go.....this is my first entry into the blogosphere! 

Like the picture to the right, I feel a little like that squirrel, timidly peeking out at the world....wanting to be fully visible, yet hesitant and vulnerable.  Guess it's the jitters of a rookie wanting to do well. Well there's no way to measure that if I don't just start, right?  (Deep breath!)


Each day, especially in the early morning as I gaze out my back window, sipping on that most needed cup of coffee or crunching my Toasty O's, I feel challenged to see what new/different creature has decided to visit my backyard.  Our house backs up to some Southern Wetlands and between the tropical vegetation and the water beyond, I can view a veritable wild kingdom worthy of a small zoo.   Each creature, whether reptilian, fowl, insect or mammal has chosen to share its life with me and gives me pause for reflection, amusement and even sadness.

I am going to share those observations (with pictures, hopefully!) with you in the hopes that there is someone out there who just might have the same thoughts/opinions as I do and help me to not feel like just a silly optimist.

Just thinking.....perhaps the squirrel might not be the best one to start with....you know "nuts" and all, but since I saw him and his buddies today and most days, he won the maiden voyage!

Until next time.....
