A little bit of yellow

I took a little walk in the woods.

 A place to sit.

 

Everyone needs a rest.

Scissor-tailed Flycatcher

Most beautiful bird! It is the state bird of Oklahoma. They are still here in Norman (OK). Migration is in full swing. The Juncos and Yellow-rumped Warblers have arrived. Hummingbirds are making their way south. The Scissor-tails will gather together and migrate within a week or two.

Oklahoma State Capitol

On the very top of our dome is The Guardian.



The Guardian...A close up.

 

The Guardian is the creation of American Indian (Seminole-Creek) painter and sculptor Enoch Kelly Haney. Born in Turkey Creek, near Seminole, Oklahoma, on November 12, 1940, Haney graduated from Bacone College and the University of Arizona. After being a Methodist pastor and youth ministry director, he served in the Oklahoma House of Representatives and Senate from 1981 to 1986 and from 1987, respectively. He also served as a councilman of the Seminole Nation.

The Guardian was added June 7, 2002

Here is what our Capitol use to look like (pre-dome).

October has arrived

                   Happy October!

Illumination

 Light a candle and say a prayer.

 

          Reflect on days gone by.

Drop a coin in and strike a match...



Where did August go?

Wow, tempus fugit! I see that I have not posted for the whole month of August! Yowza!! September is going to be a bust month. Most of it will be spent birding.

 

Summer is offically here!

 

It is always good to see the sunflowers.

The birds are going to totally love these when they go to seed!
