There is no going back and sometimes looking forward feels like giving up...I am trying.
Yesterday I traveled to a nearby town to do some errands that I couldn't accomplish here in my town. So once the chore was done I stopped at a local garden and checked out the collected swans that live there...some had cygnets.

And others are sitting on eggs.
BLACK SWAN
MUTE SWAN
MUTE AND WHOOPER SWANS
Not all the birds there are part of the collection like this Great Egret....he comes and goes as he pleases...
And this Hermit Thrush also...
And this Wood Stork, ebird says rare, If I'd known I'd have taken a better photo of it!
After leaving there on the drive back I spotted a HUGE mixed flock of Black Birds, like Common Grackles, and Red Winged Blackbirds I think I saw some Brown Headed Cowbirds, along with European Starlings too...I think there was easily 1,000,000 birds in this flock! They were in a field where p-nuts have been recently harvested...
...seeing all these birds reminded me of how each being on this planet is going thru their own personal experience...some good some not so, but each one counts, and each one matters.
So I'm trying to reach beyond the fog of grief, it's been 60 days now....but bear with me, it won't happen soon, and thank you so much for all your kind words of encouragement. I took everything said to heart...and It helps me to know people do care and understand.
PEACE
Taking One Day At a Time
