The WOW! Page

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the number of moments that take our breath away.

This page is all about amazement. I realized as soon as I began choosing photos for this section that I am amazed by everything living in Beacon Hill Park. That said, these experiences I'm about to share with you definitely took my breath away and made me say . . . WOW!  
  

Your bushtit nest photo (#7) is so incredible!  It makes me want to get a Ph.D. in bushtit nest-building!  From there I browsed through your other photos, and so many moments of revelation!  I just have to thank you for your patient devotion to the wildlife that is right under our noses, observing it for us and bringing us images from the REAL world.  I think the WOW reaction we all have to such beautiful and insightful photos is an indication of just how hungry we've become for some contact with the NATURE that gave birth to us.  —Hub Meeker



This Cooper`s Hawk was chasing this squirrel until the sunrise became too beautiful to ignore. The chasing stopped and both sat motionless, watching the sun explode colours through the trees. Then, after a while, the hawk just flew away.
