Here’s Looking at You

One of the main reasons I enjoy birding is that I see so much more than birds. This curious steer is one example.

I love being outdoors with nature, absorbing all that she has to offer. I love clouds, farms, trees, mountains, valleys, landscapes, sunrises, and sunsets.

Being one with nature requires paying attention. Quite often, I am astonished at what I see, even though I may have viewed the same scene before. That doesn’t mean it’s the same as last time. Life is full of surprises and continual change.

Lastly, I love to tell about what I have seen, heard, and touched because it has touched me. Consequently, I love to share what I have discovered with all of you. Even a curious cow.

Oh my, how those flies remind me of how sad I always felt when seeing cows or horses just being constantly swatting at those dreadful flies. Nice picture, not good memories. 🙂 Which reminds me, time to swat flies in the garage.

But thanks for sharing!

I love your steer, Bruce, you both had a moment in time together, awesome! Who else has stopped to give this fella a happy visit?!! I’m with you about nature! Yes I mostly share bird photos, but I take photos of anything and everything that catches my eye. Rust, OMG I love rusty things, lol. And trees and flowers and insects and wildlife and…..I could go on! 😉 Keep on clicking, Bruce!!
