1830. do you hear cicadas?



rain keeps falling
and my ears keep ringing….
chilly morning
*
standing face to face
with the stone cold Buddha….
are his ears ringing, too?





According to the web ringing in the ears is common for people, and cats and dogs too. But what about Buddhas with their large ears?





 

1829. Skylar



surprise! surprise!
s - k - y - b - l - u - e
say “hello!”





Say “hello!” Well, he wouldn’t, though he’s a good talker but on his own terms! That’s Skylar, named for his sky blue color. He’s a Blue Indian Ringneck Parrot, getting his daily D’s hiking up on Andorra Meadow in the Wissahickon. What a surprise! You just never know who you’ll meet on a hike through the woods. 

1828. double take


final cut
reaching out for one last big bite
sneaky snaky tree


 

Walking along the trail, she did a double take. That fallen tree resembled a huge serpent ready to take a deadly bite out of that other tree! He quick pulled out his camera to take a shot….she did the same!😘
