toils of melancholy so great for spoken words to barely leave their lips.

What kindness might turn the cheek of one whose heart could barely breathe.

Perhaps the tender touch of recognition for one not seen or for those whom barely speak.

Three cute fluffy yellow Canada Goose goslings are swimming to the right across a pond. They are lined up one in front of the other.

These three little amigos are rocking today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #SideView (birds that are side on to the camera) and also the Alt theme of #Yellow. (Canada Goose goslings)

Today's alt #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FeedingFrenzy, any bird in a rush to eat.

We had a few Pine Siskins at the feeder and frenzy described the scene pretty accurately.
