Ok, this is amazing.
And if you wired other nearby plants and trees, would they all play in synchrony?

Mr Man and I were out for a hike a few weeks ago when a barred owl flew across the path. I hadn’t expected to see an owl in daylight, but there it was. We watched it for a moment as it nestled into the crook of a tree, and went about our way.
This is what it might have been like to stay.

For those who have experienced the joy of being alone with nature there is really little need for me to say much more; for those who have not, no words of mine can ever describe the powerful, almost mystical knowledge of beauty and eternity that come, suddenly, and all unexpected.

In All Its Glory

After an extended flirtation with unusually warm weather, the seasons have well and truly turned. Fall has arrived, and with it, bright blue days and brilliant colors, crisp air and the urge to Get Outside before the snows come.
This is my way of saying that I’m going to be otherwise occupied for the next few days enjoying the weather. I hope you have a chance to get out and enjoy the season too.
In the meantime, I leave you with quotes and pretty pictures!
“If the leaves are changing, I feel poetry in the air.”

Nothing Plain About Jane

As anyone online likely knows, primatologist, conservationist, activist, author and reportedly all-around good egg Jane Goodall died yesterday. She was on a book tour, of all things, bringing her vision of a better world to those who would listen, and being an example of dedication and purpose for us all.
Dr. Jane was known around the world for her 65-year study of wild chimpanzees in Gombe, Tanzania. However, in the latter part of her life she expanded her focus and became a global advocate for human rights, animal welfare, species and environmental protection, and many other crucial issues.
I’m sad we lost her, and yet it’s lovely to be reminded that one person can do so much good.
What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.
— Jane Goodall

“Within National Parks is room—glorious room—in which to find ourselves, in which to think and hope, to dream and plan, to rest and resolve.”
— Enos Mills, Naturalist
