Birds

October 1birds,royal terns,laughing gulls

I am thankful for birds. I think birds are interesting to watch and they have ability freedom to fly that we humans lack, at least without the aid of an airplane. My sister is a much more avid bird watcher than I but I enjoy identifying birds and sometimes employ her help. Anyway, I love to take photos of birds.

This is a group of gulls at Holly Beach in Louisiana south of Sulphur. This is also known humorously as the Cajun Riviera. I think the gulls are royal terns (the ones with the red beaks and black eye patches) and laughing gulls (the grey ones).

birds

oh to fly like the birds

and glide smoothly with the wind

soaring high over the land

so refined and disciplined

to light softly back down

connected to heaven and earth

birds are the sweet sight of paradise

from the moment of their sweet birth.
