Wanted to start the year with a shot of Benson Road where my readers have been awed by the Corn Crops, dazzled by the photos of Morning Glory, Wild Poinsettia, Camphorweed, Bitterweed, Goldenrods, Asters, Oxeye, and dumbfounded by the reports of breeding Dickcissels, Bobolinks, Kestrels, American Pipits (who were there today), Grasshopper Sparrows, Blue Grosbeaks, Indigo Buntings, Orchard Orioles, Red-tailed Hawks, Red-shouldered Hawks and Loggerhead Shrikes. I started years ago with just running, but these other hobbies and interests just came with the territory and shaped what I am by what I enjoy today. I would like to thank at the beginning of the year the people who helped shaped this tapestry of a life which I so enjoy today. First my cousin John, who get me into long distance running, then Wilton, who got me into the study of plants and nature, Fred Davis, who help me experience the joy of a green life, James "Butch" Wilson for all of his positive support of my unorthodox (to some) interests and my two Grandfathers, Thomas Evans Wilson, and Thomas Simpson who shared their joy of birdwatching and love of nature before I could even walk.
Blessings for the New Year!
