Someday is today



I had a nice view of an oriole that looked a lot like this one.

When you are walking it is often hard to photo a particular bird you see. It is impossible when you don't have your camera with you. We went for a walk about 8:00 PM and about a mile into the walk we saw a distinct colors of an oriole. Barb has see them this year but "dead eyed Reeves finally saw one last night. We followed the bird with our eyes moving in the branches until the oriole finally moved out of sight. The opportunity gave me  Chance to catch my breath and begin again our aerobic walk. The sunset was brilliant and there were places where the light highlighted some wild roses in perfect bloom. Ann Cassidy in her insightful blog, The Walker in the Suburbs writes about the little creatures we see. Walking I think you notice more.
Sometimes we get into the thought of someday. Someday I am going to live in the mountains, someday I am going to live in Florida, Some day I am going to live in the woods. The problem is we could live all of our lives in someday. What ever that some day is for you, don't forget today. One of the blessings I have found is trails ear by that I could walk that every day I can enjoy the familiar. Walkers in all shapes and sizes, trees, marshes, ponds, creeks that give a setting I am familiar with. Each day there are new things to see, flowers, animals, birds, new walkers, shapes and sizes. The way the sun filters through the grasslands or trees, shades and reflective light. and orioles usually first seen by Barb, who then tries to help "dead eye" locate the wonder of it. I tend to focus on the aerobics. Ah someday...but today can be cool too. "This is the day that the Lord had made" Keep walking
