While in Salt Lake City recently, I spent some time at the Tracy Aviary getting my bird fix.

As we walked the grounds, we crossed paths with this roaming peacock. He really did seem to give the impression that he knew he was really quite stunning. 

If you are ever in the SLC area be sure to check the aviary out. It's really quite nice and informative.

The Sentry - watching guard over all. Seems like a noble profession, but more likely waiting for the merest morsel of food to be tossed aside, whereupon the cry goes out and dozens more seem to appear out of nowhere!What would seashore memories be without these guys?

There are many early mornings when I sit on my porch with my coffee listening to the birds greet the day. With so many already gone, the mornings are pretty quiet. In either case I find it very inspiring to sit in the quiet of morning and listen to nature.

I've had it in my mind to write Haiku to go along with my paintings. Should be easy right, Deb?
Not so much. But maybe if I keep practicing it will get easier. This was my first attempt.

I so admire writers.

Enjoy the day!
