On a walk at the reservoir, I came upon this tree decorated in the woods hung with bird feeders and ornaments with the names of loved ones, including pets. A woman came by and I asked if she knew about the tree. She said it was the third year that people have spontaneously done this. She hung an ornament for her Mom and we stood for many moments watching little birds feeding. This is why we are on this planet. To feed each other.

NOW REPORTING FROM THE WEST COAST!

I thought it coincidental to see that one year ago today was the last time I posted! I am now "conneCTing" on new terrain...farewell CT and hello CA!

THROUGH THE WINDOW: Haiku

In the First Frosty Dawn I Lie

Birdsong prevails, but.....
separate (by pane and sash)
- the windows! - all shut.

FIELD NOTES: In search of good views...



...on an October day in Litchfield County...

...finding a few nuts in the woods,
getting a little tangled up on the trails...



but finding a new home,
that fits ME!




then getting back to where I still need to be...
while finding a few funny critters along the way...
and some that turn their backsides to me, too!...

while leading me back to a favorite place...

ah, nostalgic New England...and the beginning is the same as the end...
....Lover's Leap State Park.
