My Backyard is a very special place. Its full of beauty and contentment. It’s a place where personal worries disappear or at least are put into proper perspective. It ranges from the bird feeders in my yard, to the fields of North Central North Dakota , to the wetlands at J. Clark Salyer and the lake at Audubon National Wildlife Refuge . My hope is that My Backyard will give me the perfect picture. I will try to share some of these moments as they unfold..
Silent Spring
“Those who contemplate the beauty of the Earth
find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.
There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of birds,
the ebb and flow of tides, the folded bud ready for Spring.
There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains
of nature - the assurance that dawn comes after the night
and Spring after the Winter."
