Thanks Killdeer...

I think you should spend some time compiling your writings and pictures and put them into a book or two for all the world to see and enjoy as we do here.  You are a treasure to all of us. You can take what we might see as ordinary and turn it into something extraordinary.  I picture a person in a comfy chair, in front of cozy fire, in a mountain cabin, with a misty rain falling outside the picture window, a cup of hot cocoa on a stand beside the chair and your book of nature scenes and fertile writings in the hand of a person in a pensive mood.  

The really good part is I picture you living off the proceeds  while you are in the "field" gathering material for your next book.

"The Nutty Pine"

I think that a collection of Killdeers' musings would be a great thing to have around...
BTW, Great pictures and prose as usual...  

Killdeer, So many people have already said what a treasure to all of us. Just add me to the list.  John  AKA  Brokenwing

Great photos Killie. I also love the way you tell of the experience.      

Wow! It is just calming to look at those photos.

Wonderful job.

Chris

Thanks Killdeer for the stories and pics, and of course the mail.  The highlight of my mother in laws day is when someone like you shows up!

Killie, you get to see so much up close that I only see from the interstate at 60+.....
It would make me jealous, except that; you are so willing and capable of sharing.
I'd tell you how grateful we all are to have you amongst us, if they hadn't already swelled your head.    
Thank You and do at least, consider a compilation.
