Active Gray on the Move

Another day and another Gray.

The forecast called for a mix of sun and cloud and thought perhaps the forecasters may be correct this time…wrong !

Since being out one can only make the best of it even if under less than ideal conditions.

The only reward was finding a very active owl that provided some opportunities for decent action shots.

Enough dreaming of things to come this summer…back to what’s currently being focused on.

One of life’s little pleasures is being able to share with others the action that I come across while out-n-about on a adventure.

Not always action packed and sometimes it seems more like watching paint dry.

I remember hearing this quote years ago and it’s something to live by for me…”Nature is like a book, those who do not explore read only but one page”

Look I Can Fly

Fast forward and thoughts of reopening the summer place and the return of the Osprey is like having Christmas all over.

Always a fun time when the juveniles realize that they can fly. This only comes after much time is spent flapping and jumping within the nest…then one day they are airborne. Usually needing to make a couple passes by the nest before attempting their first landing…which can appear to look awkward.
