I feel terrific and the joys of life abound.

I would like to tell you a little true story that happened 12 Nov. 2006.

My story take place at the Gilbert Riparian preserve where I like to take Bird pictures.

Trust Lives.

That day while I was taking pictures of some wild ducks a pair of mallard ducks jumped up and flew very low straight over my head. This startled me and I stumbled back a bit but a remaining duck laughed at me Haw -haw- haw-haw-haw -very loud and I said "So you thought that was funny did you" And again from behind me some one Laugh again Haw-haw- haw-haw- haw. Just like the ducks. There was this whole family laughing. Well after talking for a while about the ducks a little boy of 4 or 5 came to me and hugged my leg. He look up at me and my heart filled with joy for the thank you and good bye. I thought that there is still trust in the world and it is very precious. Never End

A Real Arizona Cardinal

Wickenburg is home to this Cardinal. It lives along the Hassayampa river to the north of town. This was the female as the other cardinal was bigger and brighter but after running I ( I mean walking as fast as I could) I missed the male. But I like this Photo.

AUNT ANNIE'S TEA By Tom Stanley Janca

Come for some tea, spend some time with me.
Aunt Annie's tea, was not always free.
Though she made it especially for me.
She was such a host, with her sweet rolls and toast.
But can you fix my fence post, 10 minutes at most.
That door squeaks and my grass needs a cut.
What about my window it cannot be shut.
Water the trees, pull out the weeds.
Plant my garden with all these seeds.
now sweep off the front porch and we will have lunch.
I think your hungry that's my hunch.
Ice tea, sweet rolls and cinnamon toast of course.
Better have enough for a horse.

LITTLE DESERT PRINCE By Tom Stanley Janca

There he was at the top of the peak.
To be where he was you can not be meek.
I watched the young sheep from my spot at the creek.
Though my cameras eye was somewhat unique.
I watched him, run, jump, dance and prance.
He was a young prince I could tell by his stance.
The land below would be his home as far as he could see.
His family was all around teaching him the way to be.
Pure joy radiates as I watched him posture against the sky.
He is oh so spry.
I feel his pure heart, his love of family, of life, from the creek way below.
Standing so proud, so expectant of the good life that surrounds him so.
I heard his call, "ba baaa, ba baaa, ba baaa."
I knew it meant, Look at me! Look at me! Look at me.
