Messengers of the sky were a prominent sight for my husband and I’s “date day”, that we plan every Wednesday (so I don’t work 24/7). We explored some local back roads finding photo treasures everywhere, I thought I’d begin the uploads with the clearest message from this beautiful hawk. / /

Breath of ALL LIFE
by tkrosevearThere are times when I am overwhelmed by the disconnection to our brethren of creatures…
As a wildlife rehabilitator, my feelings towards the complacency and cruelty to animals astounds me and gets my passion fired up to a dull roar…
-
As I honor the changes in progress / and transmute the poisons of my past / I am visited by the master, who poses / to remind me to stay on my path / Shed that old victims’ skin and walk / forward with light and life-force…

My favorite subject in photography and the hardest to capture, aside from hummingbirds. / Hanging out on a limb, this dragonfly is AS IS, other than sizing. / /

Medicine of Lynx with your extraordinary vision, help me to overcome obstacles and penetrate secrets, so well hidden so that I may be vigilant in my quest to be heard, as a voice for your brethren wildlife… This shot was taken in California, at the “Living Desert”, a rehabilitation facility in Palm Desert, while I was updating training requirements.

After much work going through 400 photographs, taken last Friday at the NW Trek wildlife park, I was still having difficulty on which animal to begin with… / Deciding on alphabetical, I will begin with this little badger whom was quite the photogenic model, appropriately timed towards feeding. / BADGER is the totem for the ‘medicine’ of bold self-expression and reliance, it’s coloring and markings are symbolic as the keeper of much light and knowledge of other animals and the Earth. It is a very muscular and powerful animal in the weasel family with exceedingly strong jaws and claws for digging into the Earth or “earths”, where they live in complex burrows underground. It is a carnivorous animal that is active both day and night and are very solitary creatures, being very comfortable within themselves and very self-reliant by 4-6 months old. It is also one of the boldest and most ferocious, as it never surrenders when confronted. It’s powerful digging gives understanding of things beneath the surface of the earth and people – this includes the medicines of roots, minerals, plants and herbs and there are many stories that tie these animals to the lore of earth spirits and gnomes, besides healers who are aggressive with their technique but highly effective. Many Native American medicine women were powerful healers invoking the power of Badger for the healing of children. Badger medicine can teach you to fight for your rights and spiritual ideas. When faced with a crisis, don’t panic but act, even get angry, in a creative, productive way. Cunning badger of the forest, / Guide me to wisdom, truth and light. / All injustices against me, / Wipe clean the slate and set them right. (DJ Conway) From my favorite animated story “Once upon a Forest”, the Badger’s voice is Michael Crawford singing Please Wake Up

Snakes are reptiles, cold-blooded and requiring heat to bring them to an active stage. They are found around the world, except for the colder regions. There are about 2,500 species of the suborder Serpentes or Ophidia. About 10%, or 250 species are poisonous, but only half this number have sufficient venom, sharp enough fangs, or are large enough to threaten humans. They have flexible backbones, loosely connected jaws, and no legs or moveable eyelids. / Snakes or serpents were very early symbols of the Great Mother Goddesses, having dual spiritual meanings, even when shown singular: life and death, solar and lunar, good and evil, healing and poison. Because it sheds its skin, this creature became a symbol of reincarnation and immortality. The snake was considered to be the embodiment of all potentials of a physical, material and spiritual nature. This image was began in Apophysis and edited in Photoshop7. Serpentine Fire

Bobcat
by tkrosevearThis is an as is shot from my NWTrek adventure last month. The bobcat is sometimes called the wildcat, it has a short bobbed tail from which it gets its name. It also has tufts of hair on its ears and sideburns and often confused with the lynx, which is usually grayer and always larger. It is a solitary animal, and those with it as a totem usually share the same situation. / They are the medicine of secrets and silence, an endangered species once found roaming all over the US. It makes his home under rocky ledges and in piles of rocks. Although not very fast, it can leap up to eight feet, its primary food source is rabbits and woodchucks. It can see very well in the dark, and its hearing is acute. If a bobcat has shown itself you should ask yourself these questions… / Are you being too solitary? / Do you need to look for a new learning opportunity? / Are you or those around you being indiscreet? / Are you not trusting your inner senses? / Are you allowing others’ outside appearances to sway you? Whenever bobcat is around, it will teach you that there is true power and strength through silence. SECRETS

This standing being once rooted deep in the Earth / the rivers’ waters ran high, uprooted her for rebirth A magical aura surrounds her form, in remains / as she respectfully identifies our humble domain At her base sits the medicine and strength of the Bear / whose introspective instinct fares none to compare Great Horned Owl, the largest of all night birds / guarding with discernment and outsmarting the absurd Enduring Elk supports our stamina and health / reminding us our persistence and hope brings wealth Our four-legged teachers, like the wise old wolf / taught us new paths and options, as the old were engulfed Secretive Bobcat, in her stillness, does silently watch / honoring mindfulness, with no dogma to debauch The great Buffalo reminds us scarcity is based upon fear / to be released and make way for abundance is made quite clear Atop the embodiment of Spirit, as the Eagle does soar / the freedom of oneness and connecting without keeping score Owl in the Moon oversees winds of ever-present change / whilst the realm of our ancestors broaden their range Clawed, winged, finned and even those who crawl / are akin upon Earth, as I avow never to intentionally maul As one score has passed, opening this brethrens’ door / to these medicine creatures, I gratefully accept much more than folklore. WindOwl 3/3/09 tkrosevear This photograph is of a tree downed in the rivers floods last year, that we brought to our entry and merged with photos of 7 creature teachers whom represent the four cardinal directions and above, below and within – the owl within the moon represents my spirit name and connection to them all.
