Today I would like to present to you one of our fine feathered friends, Harriet Hawk, dressed in a most beautiful long gown of shimmering brown and white feathers...
Harriet is coyly showing off her lovely red-shoulder as she demurely glances back at the audience...
This design is truly exquisitely decorated with deep hues of brown and black and gray, mottled with rustic reds and white highlights...
Harriet is giving us a little wink as she lets us catch a glimpse of the gorgeous buff colored ruffled scarf draped around her neck and down over her bodice...
Oh! What charm and poise as she glances up at our audience in the balcony...or is that a haughty look of superior boredom as she wishes this show were over so she could fly away to some more exotic land?
Harriet wants us to see her lovely crown of tawny feathering, perfectly styled in the latest fashion...
Yes, Harriet is certainly giving us a wonderful look at her glorious plumage today...
I do believe she is bowing to her audience, acknowledging our presence...
Oh yes! Harriet has spotted us in the gallery! She's looking right at us! She knows we are enjoying her efforts to give us a lovely show today...
Another look at those on the lower level of the stage...
There's that cool "off the shoulder" look at those around her once again...
And then, with a final look at her admirers, she bids her adieu and she was gone!
Wasn't she just magnificent?
Let's give a hearty round of applause for Harriet Hawk, our lovely model of the day!!!
Here are some thoughts for the day from the "Choose Grace" devotional:
"Tune your ears to the world of Wisdom;
Set your heart on a life of understanding."
Proverbs 2:3
And that is just what this Sand Hill Crane appears to be doing...He is in a hurry to get to church on time!
What things are you off and running to do today?
I'll be going to physical therapy again this morning. Yesterday we started on the exercises to help strengthen my neck muscles. Today I am wishing I didn't have to go do that again...but as I've been saying to remind myself,
"No pain, no gain!"
It's got to hurt a little bit to make it stronger and better.
We have to work for what we want and need in this life.
So here I go.
Have a wonderful day, my friends.
