Sher and I took advantage of our son again and had him drive us around town. There were lots of people out, mostly driving as it was rather chilly and windy. Not the best conditions for a walk.
I spotted this goose on a traffic island in a store parking lot. The goose just sat there when our car pulled up be side it, which allowed me to take these shots. The goose’s mate saw us from across the lot and was walking (or should I say waddling) towards us as we pulled away.
No COVID-19 stuff, just a picture I was lucky enough to snap several years ago. It has been one of my favorite nature photos ever since. Hope you like it.
The coronavirus seems to be ushering in a new normal, a new world for all of us. Does this mean we need a fresh start, or rather, being forced to make a new start? May 7th is a full moon, it is also called the Full Flower Moon or Full Blessing Moon. It means new beginnings as the flowers and trees blossom.
Perhaps the Full moon this May will bring new beginnings for us. A time to change. We should be using this time of isolation to have self reflection. Take what we’ve learned and set some blossoming goals to achieve them.
Have you ever blown the little white flyers off a dandelion?
This dandelion is in full seed mode with 150 – 200 seeds. Sometimes this stage is called a puff ball. Soon a breeze will take the seeds on a remarkable journey.
We thought our blogging friends might like this photo of a bear mimicking a human reaction. Maybe this Alaskan brown bear is thinking of the COVID-19 pandemic. Has anything about the virus caused you to face-palm?
Near Pere Marquette State Park north of Grafton, Illinois we saw a magnificent bald eagle in the top of a tree. What a treat to see our National Symbol in the flesh, er….in the feather. Info boards at the park said that in the year 2000 there were 43 active nests of bald eagles in Illinois.
