Mid summer

It's mid summer. Crickets are quietly chirping, and there are still some bird singing in the morning.  I came across a hermit thrush on her nest right alongside a road I frequently walk, in her nest were 3 babies, and 1 intact egg. Granted the photo is not the best, it's just a record of the moment.

Early morning and evening have a beautiful quality about them, the light golden, the air calm and cool.They are my favorite times of the day. Although late night in summer is also hard to beat. Moonlight, the quiet, loons calling.

Summer is quickly moving along, as it always seems to do here in Maine. Stop and catch you breath, and it's gone.
