It is not enough to be able to drop your body
as easily as a bathrobe, take flight like the eagle,
enter the hollow hills, talk with angels, and
dance among the stars.

We must make the return.

We must live in this world and be gardens
for the dreams that want to take root in it.

This dame is one of the strays we have been taking care of . . . she only comes for food at this point (and affection while she eats). I have no idea where she goes when she is not hungry. She started out by raiding my husbands office window where he was feeding our Aidan . . . she was shy at first then hunger got the better of her and she toss safety protocol out the window, jumped in the window and devoured some food. Since then we have developed a routine where she comes to the front door and meows to let us know she is here and looking to dine on the front porch. I just love this photo of her as she looks so indignant . . . when in truth that is nothing like her personality.

Refuge On A Cold Day
Eastern Cottontail Hideout
January 6, 2011
by Dawn "Raven" Kline

There was still snow on the ground, swiftly melting (just prior to the snow that fell on January 9th, 2011). We have a game of odds going regarding this rabbit. You see, it hides out here under this or another bushy growth near by and each morning we walk past the area we try to guess which plant it is under an if it is under any plant at all . . . the funny part is when we figure there have been plenty of people who have walked by with their dogs that have most likely sent the rabbit running to a tall pine with low to the ground branches in the Stone House yard . . . only to 'discover' it is indeed still hiding out under the shrubbery and in its bolt to the pine tree it scares the boogers out of us (well, mostly my youngest daughter who screams and leaps about two feet into the air)

On this particular morning we were surprised but my daughter only jumped a little and the rabbit stop near by a large stone in stead of running for the pine . . . then a runner came by and scared the rabbit back into its hideout . . . so we finally got a few nice photos of the rabbit in it's secure little shelter.

My family and I braved the cold (with layers and blankets ;-D) to observe the Winter Solstice Full Lunar Eclipse at the Red Rocks Amphitheater here in Colorado . . . I have one less than perfect photo of Ship Rock lit from below with artificial lights and the blurry lights of the constellation Orion just above it (which was just beneath the Full moon phasing into eclipse) . . . I am debating on sharing it too since Orion is my guiding constellation! Overall it was a wonderful evening . . . like the Leonid Meteor Storms (back in 2000 and 2001), it was a celestial celebration we didn't want to miss and enjoying it with family made it all the more pleasurable.
