"If a child asked me a question that suggested even a faint awareness of the mystery behind the arrival of a migrant sandpiper on the beach of an August morning, I would be far more pleased than by the mere fact that he knew it was a sandpiper and not a plover." Rachel Carson

I love Rachel Carson..I try to honor her by teaching the children around the pond and woods about nature... I try anyway.... Michelle

ReplyDeleteAhh...Rachel Carson! I approve :) And great plover picture!
ReplyDeleteLovely post for so many reasons. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
I recognize that Carson quote... I read Sense of Wonder this weekend and loved it. Lots of good wisdom in there, so I will have to go back and read it again. And again. Thanks for recommending that!
ReplyDeleteSweet! I love these little birds!
ReplyDeleteOne of these days I'm going to participate in camera critters.
ReplyDeleteThat's a fantastic shot of the sandpiper, Karen. He seems to staring at its own shadow and wondering what in the world it is... hmm, it doesn't look edible?
