So I’m sitting in front of my computer, mindlessly going through my Facebook feeds, emails, reading blogs, all the while sniffling, sneezing, blowing my nose and generally feeling miserable, when a friend posts a beautiful poem that simply goes right to my core.
I decided to copy and paste it to a photo I took. Why the bird? I dunno. There was enough empty space beside it! There were others I could have chosen but this one felt right…
Thank you, Sonia, for sharing this lovely poem!
Well my goodness, that’s lovely! And lovely bird shot as well!

Thank you, Joy! I was pleased with that shot… they are not always so willing to stick around long enough for me to change lens! 😉

So this was one of those moments that came unexpectedly to hit you like a ton of bricks … and that’s expected, thus OK. Keep smiling!

I just commented on the wrong post, the gratitude one, but you probably figured out I meant to comment on this one! 🙂

LOL! With the comment section in WP, they all jumble together…so I actually assumed it was this one!

Dale, hope you get rid of those ‘sniffles’ pronto.
Love the Derek Walcott poem ~ love ALL Derek Walcott poems. Great idea to match it up with the photo. Strange, I always think, how photos have a way of pressing themselves forward and refusing to be ignored!
