Down to the River
A rim shot of feathers
I’m reading C. S. Lewis’s “A Grief Observed”. Lewis is writing of his wife’s death and the emotions he felt and insights he gained. Having a spouse die is much different than losing them to divorce. For example, when your spouse dies, you don’t fall apart because you are missing them horribly and at the…
This is what the skies have looked like a lot lately. And this. And when the sun peeked out, it looked like this. And then there was this. What?! What the heck is going on?! That’s what things look like in my camera viewer now and obviously, in the photos too. I think I’ll be…
Is there anyone out there who doesn’t want to leave their own individual mark in the world? There are the literal marks, like the graffiti I saw in New York. And I’ve found this Electric Man on a few utility boxes around town. We’re not quite as colorful or imaginative in the burbs. And I pass…
I was introduced to sixteen-year-old Minnie Marks on the blog called A Mermaid in the Attic. I was so blown away I had to throw together a post to share the discovery.

Is it OK for me to say that I’m envious of you? To my knowledge, I’ve never seen a swan in real life…much less four at a time!
I enjoyed this post.
Sue, I do feel pretty lucky and privileged every time I see a swan. On this day, they just kept gathering and building into a full flock. It was very cool!
Beautiful!
Such beautiful images of these graceful birds. Back in Germany we had so many swans on our river, but here – nothing. I miss them, but then we have other birds here that also thrill me to no end.
These swans are so wonderful, so lovely. And I love your words…
What beautiful..beautiful winter swans!!! There’s something – I’ve always thought – even more elegant about them in the cold winter.
Beautiful Maery, just beautiful!
