Good morning! A few nights ago while doing the evening bird work, I experienced a moment of such beauty, such pure magic, that I HAD to share it with you guys!
.
The birds were finally settling down for the evening. A few were still playing in the creek while others were slowly winding their way to nests, perches, and hidden beds, their sounds soft and soothing.
.
The Sun was in the midst of its last evening hoorah, throwing pastel colors across the horizon like a carefree painter finishing his swansong as the wind slid in and out of the leaves adding its melodic whispers for the perfect accompaniment.
.
It was as I walked the borders of our yard, intertwined in this magic, that I happened to glance over at a tree that I’d looked at everyday of my life. But this time…this night…I saw something I’d never once taken the time to notice.

This evening I saw a beautiful Lady, a rounded Goddess!

This evening I saw a beautiful Lady, a rounded Goddess!
.
.
Her arms were spread wide to not only protect her tree-home, but to lovingly embrace all of creation!
.
I ran to the house for the camera. I had to at least try to capture even the tiniest part of this wonderment!
.
Upon my return I realized I’d been mistaken…
.
.
…for it wasn’t a Goddess. It was a dancer with her partner at her side, reaching towards the skies, body in a graceful arch! How could I have missed this before?
.
Frantically I collected image after image, lest the Sun move on in it’s eternal cycle and break the spell that surrounded myself and the Dancers.
.
It WAS true! Magic DID still exist for those who only took the time to look for it. Right then and there I vowed I would, from this day forth, always take the time to find what little I could.
.
As I moved slightly to the right in my quest for a better view of this forever-frozen pas de deux, my eyes were open yet again.
.
.
These elegant dancers were most assuredly male and female…
.
.
…and buck-ass nekked!
.
Which only goes to show that I can take any scenario, statement, or beautiful moment and twist it into something TOTALLY dirty.
.
You’re welcome.
