Today I'm going to give everyone a little break from winter. I should have done this before, but I wanted to stay current. I have some new winter things to post. But like I said, it's break time.Winter can get kind of gloomy after a while, even while we're only looking at winter photos. I wanted to bring back a little bit of summer life. I want this to inspire and energize me again. It's been a cold winter lately, and I'm ready for this break.
Even though the days are now getting longer here again, my daylight time seems to be dominated by trivial things lately. I see plenty of great things to stop and look at, but there aren't enough hours in the day right now. My answer to that is to look back, and find where I lost my extra time. I hope it's somewhere in these photos.
You may have noticed that all of these animals here today are ducks and geese. I like ducks, and I like geese. I can't remember if any of these pictures have appeared here before or not, but here they are now.
It's strange, but I remember taking every one of these photos. I don't remember my thoughts at the time, but I remember the birds.
When I took this one, there were dozens of geese and ducks swimming in the pond that day. It was an amazing sight. I hope to see more things like this when it gets warmer again.
This last one was taken in my backyard. Next spring I'm expecting dozens of geese to come back right here to my house. It seems to be a favorite stop of theirs. They like to fight and play, and cause a ruckus right outside my window. Up until now, I've been a little afraid to go out there. But I'll investigate them when they come back.That's it for this short post. I needed a break from winter, and I think a few of you might have needed one too. Now I'm off to find a way to make my winter adventures a little more fun and exciting.
