Halloween

"If there's somethin' strange in your neighborhood / Who ya gonna call?"

~ Ray Parker Jr., Theme to Ghostbusters

Sunshine

If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.
~Napoleon

Silver phased Red Fox

"We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate for having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein do we err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings: they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth." -
~Henry Beston "The Outermost House"

Spent flowers in the snow

One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.
~Henry Miller
US author (1891 - 1980)

Spring Azure Butterfly in the fall

When the world says, "Give up,"

Marbled Godwits

"You are a living magnet. What you attract
into your life is in harmony with
your dominant thoughts."
~Brian Tracy

Black Bear

You can’t experience success beyond your wildest dreams until you dare to dream something wild!
~Scott Sorrell

Frosted Maple Leafs

"The World is not something to
look at, it is something to be in."
~ Mark Rudman

Sheep shearing

If someone wants a sheep, then that means that he exists.
~Antoine de Saint-Exupery, "The Little Prince"

A Path

I wish you sunshine on your path and storms to season your journey. I wish you peace in the world in which you live... More I cannot wish you except perhaps love to make all the rest worthwhile.
~Robert A. Ward

Fall

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.

~John Muir (1838 - 1914)

Black Bear

I've never quite believed that one chance is all I get.
~Anne Tyler
US novelist (1941 - )

Talking

Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating.
~Charlie Kaufman, Joel in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

(with apologies to the pirate)

Spotted Towhee

I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air.

Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804 - 1864)
