And I am answering her call.<\/p>\n

It has been too long since I woke up hearing the sounds of Sandhill Cranes trumpeting instead of the sounds of the city. It has been too long since I stared up at the stars overhead without the city lights getting in the way.<\/p>\n

I spent yesterday morning out photographing more Short-eared and Burrowing Owls but decided this morning to give my viewers a break from owls and share a bit of the scenery that refreshes me.<\/p>\n

I’m not all that sure where I will sleep tonight but it won’t be in the city. I need a healthy dose of wilderness.<\/p>\n

I’ll be wandering like a gypsy for a bit and I don’t know if I will be able to post from the road but I am happy to be off on another new amazing adventure.<\/p>\n

Life is good, right?<\/p>\n
