Check out the "new" Phaser Rush from Merrell. All the great comfort and support from Merrell in a all around lightweight hiking/backpacking boot. Features like Gore Tex and a vibram sole make for good waterproof durable boot.

osprey

The osprey is in the Little Miami River again. He seems to stop by our senic valley for a couple of weeks in the spring and fall. Obviuosly on his way to another destination. But it is always a thrill to see the 6 foot wing span glideing along. The osprey is the only raptor to dive in head first for it's prey. Considered by Native Americans to be a gift from the water and sky beings. so keep your eye's to the sky.

morning paddle

Went on a morning paddle on the Little Miami. Saw turtles sunning themselves,and the first "fluff balls" of the season. The 6 gosling's were floating with their parents.Give them a wide berth if you are journeying downstream. No need to stress them out. We all know how hard it is to raise kids anyway. Quote from Mary Oliver

Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again.

who ever you are, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese.

Harsh and exciting-over and over announcing your place in the family of things.

spring blessings, Tim
