To answer your ‘thoughts and comments’ question, my thoughts are ‘refreshing,’ and my comment is ‘one of your best’; and you have so many ‘bests’ ! I really like the drinking picture; but the droplet of water on the bill picture ‘humanizes’ the subject. Steve

  Thank you Steve! Appreciate – and it’s interesting that I usually only choose one image to feature per post – and it was going to be the one with the droplet you mention. Something I connected with in that one a lot … but then of course when my haiku was composed I had no choice but to include both shots ~ as “the bow” was clearly image #2 ~ So appreciate your kind words! much love ~ RL

  Thanks so much mi amigo, Carlos ~ glad you enjoyed the reflection. All is well with my daughter in Spain ~ just finished a Skype session with her… and seems to be loving the culture there and feeling right at home. They sleep for hours each day and stay up till 3 or 4 am which is incredible – but she is adjusting and having fun. Sending lots of love to you in Uruguay ~ assuming you are still journeying! ~ xRobyn

  Thank you dearest Cat ~ This is a wild snow goose — the dark markings on the wings is the signature of this breed. Yes ~ the neck is rather lovely too ~ This particular goose resides at the wildlife sanctuary due to her wing injury ~ so I am lucky to visit her often and appreciate her beauty. So much love your way ~ Robyn

Love the photos and Haiku.
The birds like some sort of Gull or water bird.

Have you got a polarising lens to put on your DSLR yet? As you’re so near the beach, it would be worth buying one (if you haven’t already done so). Seems to really help with reflections & water shots. As well as making the whites whiter & blues richer without changing the colour on your DSLR settings.

  Thanks Victoria ! This is actually a wild “snow goose” Here is a nice review of the species from national geographic. http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/birds/snow-goose/ .
  This particular goose is a year-round resident at my local wildlife refuge as has an injured wing and cannot fly.
  She lets me come up real close to her for photos though ~ very sweet.
  I do not think I have the polarizing lens you speak of yet — still really getting acquainted with all the options. I do think I will want a wide angle lens
  and now , given the info you just shared will need to find out more as there are so many water shot opportunities here. Appreciate and so glad you enjoyed! With Love ~ R

  Thanks so much LuAnn. Haiku is fairly new for me too. When I began to blog I was not planning to write at all, and a dear friend suggested it might be lovely way to add a personal touch without length narrative or more lengthy poetry. It has a very “zen” effect and works well with images relating to the natural world. Writing it is meditative as well ~ So glad you enjoyed – and sending tons of love your way xo Robyn

Good day for me…. two photos from Robyn… both so outstanding… the first with the water on the beak is such a great capture, well done.. and the second with the ripples and the reflection.. magnificent… and then three lines —- that say so much, it would take me 250 to say the same… you are a Guru at this…
But have you changed your header picture… please tell me that is not you splayed out in the snow taking photos…. it makes me cold just looking at it… it is a magnificent photo though, that I must say… go well …. beautiful post as usual…

  Thank you dearest bulldog… Very happy you like d the details captured in the images — and also my simple haiku. It is kind of fun when you can communicate powerful feeling using only the few words/sounds/syllables that haiku dictates. The last line was the most challenge – but I took some creative leap with my use of the word “quench” and seems to have worked! Maybe we can get you to try a haiku – they work best with images of nature! Thank you for “guru” status — (now that is pressure!!) LOL!
  
  Oh this header is old one. It was the one I began my blog with exactly one year ago. I moved it to the “About” page for the warmer months but thought a good time now that winter is upon us to bring it back. No real snow yet hear this year, but to be honest – it felt great splayed out like that in the fresh cold snow — numbs all the pain!! And then of course there is hot chocolate after the snow– play! My husband was so kind to shoot it for me last year – never knowing how popular my blog would become Now he’s proud of his photography skill too I suppose I should put a watermark on it for him!! Sending love ~ RL

I like what boomie had to say! Depth beyond the visuals here Robyn, although I love both your photographs and the verse. But something more too! Hard to put into words, imagine if we had that relationship with nature, sigh! Much love to you this day dearest friend, Penny xxooxx

  Thank you dearest Penny… I am glad you got that same feeling of depth ~ such a simple post but appears to have stirred up quite a bit here, so you must be right. Maybe it’s the way the water photographed — almost tangible. Haiku sometimes does create a meditative zone for the reader, and think this one may have succeeded at that, for which I am thrilled. This is a “snow goose” by the way …. not sure if you’ve seen then your way… normally they are not around this time of year – but this one is a year-round resident of the wildlife sanctuary due to her permanent wing injury (can’t fly) ~ so lucky I can visit her to observe her beauty often. Sending much Love sweetest friend … hope all is well ! Robyn

    Thank you dearest friend, yes an intangible something, I think nature sends us these messages more often than we know! I went and pinched a nerve in my lower back so that the last few days and no doubt a few ahead are uncomfortable (a nice moderate word don’t you think lol) right now. (Grrrrrrr) with other things also going on, I so didn’t need this additional item, but as you know. We just keep on keeping on. I’m involved with PT right now so, hopefully inflamation will also be reduced soonest! Thank you for asking, we do seem to “know” don’t we, with each other sweet friend of mine! Much love and hugs to you this evening! xoxoxox

  So glad you enjoyed Julie ~ promised you the “snow-goose” shots last week and was thinking of you as I created this post. She is pretty, yes? The tell-tall signature of a snow goose are those dark markings on he wing. I learned this last year when I was shooting a white domestic goose and had to find out the difference. She is injured so stays at the sanctuary year round…. normally they fly south in these cold months. The wildlife folks there take good care of this beauty! ~ Sending love and hugs ~ Rx
