From the St. John's Abbey Banner in Minnesota

I want to carry this sign to every basketball game. I'm surprised every referee doesn't suffer from PTSD.

A cheering sight when coming out of St. Mary's Hospital in Rochester, MN.

A bed with but one pillow is nearly as rare as a passenger pigeon.

Looking out the window of my room at St. John's Abbey in MN.

The view from my mailbox. A windmill in the winter haze.

As I stared out the window of the Mayo Clinic, the sun directed my eyes to the Plummer Building.

Pretty parhelia.

Any day with a chickadee in it is a good day.

Dumpster-diving crows.

Winter brings us all together.

A bowling pin wren house.

A Tlingit dancer's robe on display at the Bald Eagle Preserve near Haines, Alaska.

A red-winged blackbird spent Christmas Day with us.

A brown thrasher missed its flight out of here.

There is no ugliness to a house sparrow.

A red-tailed hawk making a legal stop.

It's almost worth the cold weather to get sun dogs.

Every boy wanted one.

A bald eagle ready to tackle winter.
