Mighty is the Roar
Day 149 – A trip to the zoo today reminds me that these beautiful creatures are ambassadors of their species, reminding us that we do not hold claim to every inch of this world.

Large Leaf
Day 98 – This enormously large leaf caught my attention. I love the symmetry of the larger veins and how the smaller ones look like a spider web. Also, the water splashes on it remind me of paint.

Everyone Watches the Winning Pitch
Day 97 – As our attention turns to the upcoming baseball season, I wanted to share this picture. It was taken at the Brewers playoff game last summer. The end of the game had everyone’s attention – even the Hot Dog guy, who put down his cart of red hots to catch the exciting final moments of the game.

Companions
Day 95 – I saw this man and his dog down by the river. He was struggling to adjust his load while his dog waited patiently. I heard the man reminding the dog to stay and wait and he would give him a treat in just a minute. They seemed to need each other very much.
