When we strive to provide an environment which welcomes wild creatures
We are creating not only habitats where humans and wildlife coexist
We are creating opportunities to look into their eyes and see
They are more than feathers
Scales
Or fur
Working in a garden that is also designated a Certified Wildlife Habitat
Allows an individual the time to commune with the natural world.
Beauty abounds
And life is everywhere
Joy is contagious!

Wow, what magnificent macro shot! Fantastic work!
Thank you! The creatures that share my space seem more than happy to allow me to snap a moment of their life!
