I made my husband walk through a field of them yesterday. I LOVE them and hate to see the chemicals go done to eradicate them.<BR/><BR/>Can you believe we're getting warbler pixes!? Ah . . . . . :0) Sweet little Ground Hog. I know they can be a nuisance, but I feel about them as I do about the dandelions.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548755592157386484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30166446.post-173136678238105732007-04-25T09:22:00.000-05:002007-04-25T09:22:00.000-05:00So you can completely relate to the "wonder" quote...So you can completely relate to the "wonder" quote I posted last night.

You're right about the feelings you get when you sit still in the woods. I feel like I become both more aware and less visible. Those feelings are gifts.Lynne at Hasty Brookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09187035706322695138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30166446.post-3530736375091863102007-04-25T09:13:00.000-05:002007-04-25T09:13:00.000-05:00Great post and a great lot of birds and wildlife t...Great post and a great lot of birds and wildlife to see. Even though I'm not much of a birder, I too have found the best method for me to really soak it all in is to find a good spot in the woods and sit. Even if I don't see a single critter, a wonderful meditative feeling washes over me after not too long.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, sounds like a great afternoon.... congrats!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30166446.post-55107648646632074022007-04-25T08:09:00.000-05:002007-04-25T08:09:00.000-05:00Pablo- it was terrific.Mary- I've only ever seen...Pablo- it was terrific.<BR/><BR/>Mary- I've only ever seen cedar waxwings twice before in my life! It IS hard to schedule time out of a busy week to take for one's self but it never is wasted time.<BR/><BR/>Ruth- I find myself much too distracted to walk along looking for birds. Sit and wait works for me. That was my first dandelion too!<BR/><BR/>Susan- I knew the woodchuck picture would make people think of that tongue twister but leave it to you to type it out!!<BR/><BR/>Lostroses- I knew this blogging community wouldn't snort at me for being move to tears by the moment.<BR/><BR/>Liza- Sometimes it's just so moving to see something so special. You're a woodchuck nut too! <BR/><BR/>Jayne- I really felt it was a gift just for me.<BR/><BR/>Mojoman- Thank you! I have a Nikon Coolpix S10. It has a 10X optical and 4X digital zoom. It's a pocket sized point and shoot camera. The warbler picture was zoomed out to the max and so it a bit grainy. The rest were all within the 10x range.Lynne at Hasty Brookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09187035706322695138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30166446.post-49256353826497356582007-04-25T05:48:00.000-05:002007-04-25T05:48:00.000-05:00It sounds like you had a wonderful day!
