Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for December 02, 2024

Ever take a walk and night and notice how much more noticeable nighttime scents are? Maybe that explains nocturnal hunters.

Swans are a work of art that will chase you and bite you.

Nature is living art.

Like the city that never sleeps, or the gift that keeps on giving.

just look at my back yard

After a snowfall, it’s amazing to see all the different foot tracks.

Thank you.

Could not had said it better. Rose’s comment here rings true.

Absolutely :) Frequently fall under symphony status around here. Wildlife can be pretty noisy at night!

Absolutely right.

I love that comment. I love painting the beautiful landscapes, clouds, etc that Nature gives us every moment.

Lovely!

I agree with you from my own solitary strolls – sigh!

Staying close to the nature happens to be the secret to this wonderful joyous family.

I’m not an eco-fanatic, but I do care about preserving some large areas with little or no development. I’d hate to live in a big city and get the feeling the whole world was being turned into pavement and skyscrapers. When you live in a smaller urban setting surrounded by farms and woods, where groundhogs, squirrels, ‘possums, raccoons and even deer sometimes show up in your back yard, you get the feeling it’s possible to have modern amenities and leave room for nature, too, especially when a short drive takes you to where you can see little else but trees, streams, ponds, and lakes all the way to the horizon.

Form survives through function

Well said, my friend. Well said.

We should appreciate it more!

and the closer you look, the more miraculous everything gets

Beautiful cartoon art, beautiful sentiment.

Swans usually are gone in the wintertime.In Boston they take the swans out of the downtown lake when the cold weather starts

That’s a cool simile.

I enjoy walking through nearby suburbs.
