Eagle Watching

If you want to just sit and watch something this late afternoon....why not watch the eagles at, Decorah Iowa?Mom to be... has three eggs and they broadcast live from 8am to 8pm. It's very windy there today....you can hear the wind blowing, as she tucks in debris around her body to keep the eggs warm. Last week, you could see some deer feeding down below her nest. I guess the dad is off fishing somewhere. I've watched the eagles for about 3 yrs. It never gets boring for me. They are truly majestic creatures.

Or maybe something smaller is your cup of tea..The little hummingbirds in California...http://www.ustream.tv/worldofhummingbirds
They are fascinating little creatures.

Winter Time

Robert Louis Stevenson (from A Child’s Garden of Verses, Late lies the wintry sun a-bed, A frosty, fiery sleepy-head; Blinks but an hour or two; and then, A blood-red orange, sets again. Before the stars have left the skies, At morning in the dark I rise; And shivering in my nakedness, By the cold candle, bathe and dress. Close by the jolly fire I sit To warm my frozen bones a bit; Or with a reindeer-sled, explore The colder countries round the door. When to go out, my nurse doth wrap Me in my comforter and cap; The cold wind burns my face, and blows Its frosty pepper up my nose. Black are my steps on silver sod; Thick blows my frosty breath abroad; And tree and house, and hill and lake, Are frosted like a wedding-cake.
