Bird Brain

This hunting season has been the slowest one yet. The weather just hasn't been cold enough up north to drive the birds down, so we haven't seen a lot. It hasn't kept me from taking awesome photos though, which makes getting up at 4 or 5AM totally worth it.

When you're out in the dark this early in the morning, you're able to watch the sun rise. You feel the temperature rise. You watch the animals in their element. You have solitude. Time to not think about your worries of the world. I feel closer to God this way. I feel closer to myself. I ignore the cold, I ignore everything that bothers me. I am at peace, not only with myself, but with everything around me. Good is so good.

I encourage each and everyone of you to find the thing in your life that gives you this.
