           It's all I can do to catch this critter.Slow and easy wins the race.Hopefully I've captured God's creation
at it's best.. While we are clinging to our own tiny world, wanting our our own tiny results. God is waiting to rewrite us, in His own time and with His own methods.

     I noticed the kingfisher on this branch several times. I decided to break a path though to the waters edge and make a small hole for my camera. After pushing through the maze of cob webs, thorns and scrub that I no longer had my glasses. I had to go home for an old pair to find them. After all this fuss within 5 minutes the kingfisher landed on the branch. It was time to settle in and wait for his next arrival.

Job 23:10,11 But he knows the way I take. when he has tried me. I shall come out as gold.

    It took 3 safari drives to capture the image of a tiger in the wild. He's known as T-28 or Star.
If you look close he has a star on his left cheek. We had the best guides and driver. Dinesh Durrani who once guided Pierre Trudeau on safari. On approximate 25 trips to Ranthambore National park he has always been sucessful in seeing the tiger. Our other guide said not to worry we will see the tiger.
   Ranthambore has 5 zones. On our final drive we encompassed parts of 3 zones being  though allowed only one zone per drive. We had special status as we were there to photograph the tiger. Near the end drive our guide shouted he saw his tail. All hayem broke loose. We started to get in position and our guide is yelling for other jeeps to get out of the way.as he took control. As we came out of the bush several had pictures by some water. But when I looked he was gone. What happened was a lady fell out of her jeep and was unconsious and they jumped out to rescue her. This spooked the tiger. If this was tiger T - 17 who has tasted human blood the results might be different.
   Our driver at the time was shifting gears and we are going in different directions. Our guide repeated don't worry we will see the tiger. We drove past the other jeeps back to the bush and shortly we came upon the tiger laying in the grasses. He laid there for 30 seconds before he growled and got up and retreated into the tall grasses. Thanks goes to James Cowie for arranging the top people in leading this safari.

  The red tail is the most common hawk in the area. It soars over open country with the motive of searching for its prey. It watches for the slightest movement in the grass below. This picture was taken along Modeland road.
   Pv 16:2  All a man's ways seem innocent to him,
                  but  his motives are weighed by the Lord.

The Christmas Holiday Train sports thousands of lights. It raises more than two million pounds of food for those in need. May this make you aware of somebody less fortunate than yourself that you can be a bright light to.

Spent some time in North Carolina and Tennessee in early December. The temperatures were mild. We attended the Christmas parade in Gatlinburg.

 The Canada geese were landing to feed on the corn in the field behind our yard.  Just 1/2 mile away hunters have set their decoys. About eight in the morning you can hear gunfire break the silence as the geese come from Wawanosh to the corn field. This lasts about a week each year.
