Patience

I needed to slow down and spend some time with an icicle.
It teaches me to stop thinking. To respond rather than react.

It rebuilds my confidence. I am ready to go again.

Stunning photography Q! We also have many icicles here in Canada hanging off of the houses and trees...don't they look like crystal prisms?

Dear Chris,
LOL!!
I did have a cup tea as I watched the icicles. It has licorice root in it. I do enjoy a pot of Jasmine with licorice tea every afternoon.
I was so disappointed when I missed Cooper's Hawk this morning. Plus I had all these ideas on how the birds could "pose up" for my Valentine photo shoot and they did not cooperate!
I needed the icicles to help me relax and go with the flow, or in this case the slow drip.

Hi French Nest,
The icicles are lovely. A joy of winter. They do look like crystal prisms. Yesterday the icicles shimmered blue!
Thank you for enjoying the photos. I was rather frustrated today.
From now on I will try not to expect the birds to pose for me. Although it would be a great shot if only the Doves were to sit just a wee bit closer together, and if the two Sparrows would snuggle up and if the Wrens would just look at each other! I would love male and female Cardinals to sit or stand together.
I have to give it up, or I will be back watching icicles again.
Birds will do as birds do.
Dreaming of a bird photo shoot.
