As we head into a new week, please remember that ego and status are imposters. What truly matters is kindness and empathy: towards ourselves and to all things. Our connection to nature binds us and through that bond none of us is alone as we face life’s challenges. May your week be peaceful. ☺️ #life

Thank you, Mamady! 🥰

Thanks, Alan! 😊

Birds perched on pilings

#Stunday
The sentinels

A cormorant paddles close to shore and a snowy egret is keeping pace, walking along the shore. They are both facing right.

@alan678.bsky.social has declared today’s #BirdOfTheDay to be any bird walking - silly #Walks or serious. This scene baffled me - a snowy egret was keeping pace with this cormorant as it quickly paddled close to shore. It was so funny to watch! #EastCoastKin

Thanks so much! 🥰

Oh, those fluffy legs do look silly! Great shots! 🥰

Oh my gosh, this is perfection. 🤣🥰

a Little Egret striding across water-logged fields with a purpose, its head held high on its very long neck, beak pointing the way

#BirdoftheDay @alan678.bsky.social is the Ministry of Silly #Walks I do think there is something about John Cleese in this Egret's stance. What say you?

#EastCoastKin #birds #photography

Yes! 🤣 Great shot!

🥰 I took this photo with my phone in Queen Mary’s Rose Garden in London several years ago. I love the drops of water. It was a rainy day. 🌂

Introspection
#poem

It could have been some other way.

Why was I born with compelling flashes

to comb my soul (but not to pray!),

burn the dirt, and inspect the ashes?

A pink rose, covered entirely by tiny drops of water, against the dark background of the soil. The caption is comprised of these words by Rainer Maria Rilke: I want to unfold. I don’t want to stay folded anywhere, because where I am folded, there I am a lie. I want my grasp of things to be true. I want to describe myself like a painting that I looked at closely for a long time, like a saying that I finally understood, like a ship that carried me through the wildest storm of all.

“I want to unfold. I don’t want
to stay folded anywhere,
because where I am folded,
there I am a lie. I want my
grasp of things to be true. I
want to describe myself like a
painting that I looked at
closely for a long time”
- Rainer Maria Rilke
