TODAY'S PHOTO
-
a Least Bittern in Wakodahatchee Wetlands contemplating, "What's
ahead," or so I am personfiying it to start the week.
I featured Least Bitterns last month and, therefore, was going
to pass this by for today. Then the patterns of the reeds caught
my attention, as well as the hold the bird has on the read.
Note how one of the right claws curves around the branch. Fascinating
to me.
In looking at the photograph, I get the feeling that the reeds
could be representing lots of barriers and yet the least bittern
is not concerned. There is an opening there that is more than
adequate, requiring nothing on his part to create it larger.
He's simply resting there with an easy grip on what's available
for him to stand upon. When he's
ready he'll simply fly off exposing the patterns of his body
which are so beautiful in flight.
SELF-REFLECTING QUERY -
I invite you to pause and contemplate your week. Where can you/do
you securely stand? Where are the openings through which you
can fly and show your beautiful self?
Create a rich and energizing week for yourself and the others
in your worlds.
MORE BLACK-BELLIED WHISTLING DUCKS
This weekend I saw one, then yesterday two, adorable black-bellied
whistling ducks in Wakodahatchee. Because of their size, I think
that they are young ones. They are so cute that I did want those
of you interested to see them. Click on Whistling
Duck Pair. Enjoy.
