Focus on Life: Outside-Getting my Fresh Air

While Getting Some Fresh Air and Sunshine, I Try to Keep My Eyes Open


The Focus on Life theme for August is Outside, and this week we are encouraged to get some Fresh Air!

So here are some colorful sights I found while I was "taking the air."


This cardinal was pretty shy, I couldn't get too close. 

One of my favorites, wild chicory.

Blue herons hang out at our stream, waiting for fish.
Same bird, different pose. 

Another day,

A goldfinch, cooperating for once.

Another favorite, queen Ann's lace. 













Let's get some more FRESH AIR!
