This blog and I have taken awhile to figure out what we are doing here. We've been dancing around here like clumsy bears for so long, sometimes I can't remember why we started. Recently, finally, happily, it's become clear to me that the pictures and the prose are all that belong here, so I'll be purging the rest over the next few days.

Some of this stuff will be resurrected elsewhere soon enough, on other sites that I'll link to from here as they get hooked up. There are some good seeds here and there that I believe deserve planting in better ground.

From today, this spot is just going to be about animals and all of the things that they inspire in me - the loves, the questions, the musings and ramblings and ponderings, and maybe most of all - the wonder.

And the gratitude. Always the gratitude.

I love you all, and thank you for inspiring me always to do better, to be better, and to share.
