I Guess We've Come to Terms or . . .

hunger won the day.

I've been trying to capture this little cutie all week.
This is the fruit of a Kousa Dogwood.
Kousa Dogwood fruit is the primary edible part of Kousa Dogwood Cornus kousa), which is a small tree or shrub native to Asia that is now a very popular landscape plant in the US. It is also called Japanese Dogwood, Korean Dogwood, and Chinese Dogwood, there are many cultivated varieties in existence.


and this Chipmunk has been predictably breakfasting on them each morning about the same time.

And always took flight when I opened the window screen (slowly and carefully)

However, today, either hunger won out or I don't seem to be much of a threat anymore.

The Narrow and Wide Gates

13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. ---

Camera . . .

a tool of reflection.


reflection: an image seen in a mirror;
serious thought or consideration

The reflection of a young teen. ---Once you start using your camera, 
you become more observant.  


The reflection of a woman of my grandmother's era.---The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.

This woman of a certain age concurs with both.
