Beautiful Sky, A Beautiful Morning, Sunday, February 11, 2024. Birds, Clouds, Donkeys

by Jon Katz

We made breakfast at home today, the only place we’ve gone is to the Farmer’s Market, on winter schedule I got a new blue head cap for the winter, some lobster mean, some tea from Casey, some scones, some lobster meat, and crabcakes, we also got some goat cheese from Cindy the Goat Lady and I picked up the soap I made last week in my soap making class. It came out nicely, a photo later.

This is a beautiful and restful day.


With my new lens, I can get close enough to birds to capture the image without them knowing. I’m’ eager to go out and take some nature pictures. The new lens is a game-changer. It was a good move on my part, although it scared the hell out of me.

Animals share food on the farm. Maria dropped some old vegetables and fruit in the pasture, and one of the hends came over to share in the feast. The donkeys are generous, they didn’t mind.

 

This morning, the landscapes were especially beautiful as the sun began to rise.

 

Sheep grazing in the back pasture. As long as they see the ground, they will graze. I got the photo from the top of the hill, thanks to my new lens.

  1. Hi Jon.
    I have just finished your book ‘talking to animals’. Lovely writing and subject matter. I am approaching 70 (can’t believe it!) and have just found a 4 year old border collie cross at the shelter and have had her with me about 8 months now. Love her, walk and swim with her- a reason to get up in the morning with relish. I am in Auckland, New Zealand and an artist. Every woman needs a dog. So thank you for your work and words.
