Spring




Spring warms everyone's heart, I think. The renewal and rebirth brings hope and beauty to the season. It's great to go for longer walks with the dogs, camera in hand. Sometimes I see twin fawns, newly hatched turkeys, or find wild greens to gather for dinner.



 
"…Tell me, what is it you plan to do
With your one wild and precious life?"

A favorite museum of mine is Joslyn Museum in Omaha, Nebraska where I have family. 
Several years ago an environmental artist built incredible woven houses in the museum's sculpture gardens. They were amazing to explore and reminded me of birds nests, although birds are indisputably the masters of nest weaving.
