Flying

in the dark of night

fly and glide, from tree to tree

leap of faith

As I have mentioned before, I am involved with a local conservancy land trust, and our group has trail-cams in the forests, fields, and next to wetlands. We recently captured footage of flying squirrels – oh my! For some reason, I had not fully appreciated that they were here in southern Quebec. I think part of this is perhaps in part because of their nocturnal habits. I love thinking of these little mammals jump-flying from tree to tree.

And here we are – flying quickly towards the new year. I won’t post again until the new year – I need to get some downtime and find ways to re-energize in 2026. I hope you continue to follow, engage, and keep on finding ways to revel in our natural world, whether art, poetry, or any other creative act!
