Thursday With Birds

 

With a rare few daylight hours to myself today, the only thing I wanted to do was be outdoors-to see, feel and photograph beautiful things.  It began to seem futile after I drove to the first, finding it closed, then moving on to a second, then a third local park whose hiking trails were closed.  The hurricane may not have been as devastating as feared; but its lingering effects are slow to be resolved.  Downed trees and debris line the streets and I suppose the public parks cannot be reopened until everything has been cleared and examined for safety.  My final choice for the afternoon has a huge lake in front with a hiking track around it which was open to the public.  There are often many birds there in and around the water;  and, yet at other times, I have gone to find not even a duck paddling around.

 

As always, Mother Nature listens to the heart of hope and desire;  and when I decided to just get out to breathe the air and walk, I was resigned to just enjoying a beautiful day.  Imagine how thrilled and not at all surprised I was when birds suddenly began to show up around the lake.  It turned out to be a golden hour for me, so I will share their beautiful faces with you here.
