I take mine from the smile of my wife, the thoughts and dreams of my kids, the moments in life that go beyond the normal. I took a lunch break in the garden today. I was sitting in Nicole’s chair (named that because the garden was her idea and we made it together as a place to sit quietly and read and later to enjoy a small fire with friends)...anyway.. I was sitting…..a butterfly landed on the yellow iris on the edge of the pond….a beautiful moment….just seconds later a hummingbird flies to the next flower over, and with the butterfly still there…hovered sipping nectar…..OH!...how I wish I had my camera…and extraordinary coincidence, joyous…...I’m holding my breath as the hummingbird flies over and alights on a branch….inches from my eyes…I can see his feathers…iridescent green, cream, and red…shining…..I can see his heart beating…..I have to exhale….........................................gasp…............................ He looks straight at me…and flies away… I think I need to go carve a hummingbird soon. -- Bob, Carver Massachusetts, Sawdust Maker http://www.capecodbaychallenge.org |
