"Have You noticed the light"
« on: February 07, 2008, 11:00:00 PM »
Well since 12 January 2008 the days are getting longer. Now we have to wait 6 more weeks per some fat Groundhog in PA (I know no matter what it's still 6 weeks to the day for Spring). Good light for me is about 6:45 am & last light is about 5:55 pm... The weather has been nice for a few days, well good enuff to hunt with out freezing to bad.

Soon we'll be doing 3-D shoots, Turkey hunting, Trout fishing...Hell all fishing. The circle of life will soon start... Baby Bears, WhiteTails, wabbits, Turkeys & the list goes on.. In no time we'll be getting all rutted up about deer season again... Just being in the outdoors makes my Heart & Soul soar...

So how many of You "Have noticed the light"

No, just sometimes ppl "don't stop & smell the roses" I know ppl that hunt and all they care about is bagging the biggest rack buck. They stop seeing the light sort of speaking. If you ask them did the other day seem darker then now, They wouldn't know or care. Sometimes a goal pushes ppl to over look the little things in nature.

I hunted this morning for about 2 hrs of good light, thing I have to do today. I watched a small hairy woodpecker looking for food on a limb next to me. Then watched a tree rat trying to catch a leaf that was moving from a light breeze. Just watching the whole woods slowly lighting up is the greatest think these days..We live by the light, With out it we Die.

This thread was to see if others keep up with the small things in life in the winter months. There is threads about snow,rain & killer cold temps.. Just wanted to shine some light...   :biglaugh:  Sorry .. no pun intended.

Yeah, Dropped my daughter off at her piano lesson last night and it was light enough to take a hike through a nearby property I have access to.  Need to put the snowshoes in my vehical as it was a lot of work with the foot and half of snow we have on the ground though.

Salvatore, last night on LOST, someone asked "have you noticed the light", strange coincidence I guess......And yes, we do notice the longer days, now I can see deer on the way home from work. Won't be long and we'll be able to shoot before dark....

With a fresh snow on the ground, Huck and I didn't come out of the woods from bunny hunting until 6:15 p.m. this evening. Spring is just around the corner. Yeh baby!!!

Gettin' better, thats the only thing I dont like about winter-not enough daylight. Dark when I go to work, almost dark when I get home.

I actually got home before dark tonight and spent some time shooting my new bow.

It was in the high 70s here today and I had to shed a layer of insulation to ride my motorcycle home today.  Sunday morning at the club should be perfect shooting weather.

I have been keeping track of it. It won't be long before it will be light when I get home from work so I can fling a few arrows each day. Nothing soothes the Soul like smacking styrofoam with arrows after work.

Old man winter is king for a time, but an extra minute in the morning, and an extra minute each evening, causes him to slowly become weaker.

He puts up a valiant fight, but he will weaken to the point, that he must hide again for a while.

Those precious few minutes of extra sunlight signal a change in EVERYTHING.

For most of us, not only do we notice the light, but we also FEEL it.  :)

There are lenten roses (helleborus) in bloom on my route, and the snowdrops are white against the mulch around the trees. Crocusses are adding their purples to the startled February landscape.

I love walking the abandoned parks in winter, seeing the first swollen buds, the rising spikes of skunk cabbage, the trout lilies. The owls are nesting now, and I have seen the red-shouldered hawks in their mating flights. When I worked as a courier, the people in the offices seemed so insulated to me. They spent only a few minutes between building and car, complained about weather they never truly felt, and mourned for Spring, which was happening, quietly, all around them!

There are hard, cold days ahead, wherein nothing seems to move and even the voices of the birds are frozen. But under the crust, as under the seemingly thick skin of a crotchety curmudgeon, there is life, and warmth, and movement.

Taku skan, skanskan.
