There is not a day that goes by that I am not so immensely grateful to have so many souls around me to love. Human souls. Furry souls. Feathered souls. I love so many within a few blocks from my home. And beyond.
I count YOU as a soul that I love. To share "my" randomness with you makes it all the more SO beautiful. It is like my heart ripples..... the joy and yes, sometimes the sorrow that I live and feel, ripples to you and your sweet, compassionate, generous, and wise hearts blessedly ripple back to me. Like-minded souls are never alone. We are here in spirit for each other. Sometimes in the flesh. Sometimes in the universe. The lake and my heart runneth over right now. We had two May Day swan babies join us in our world yesterday! To see them and to hear them - well, let's just say at 7:00 a.m. as I stood alone at the nest with them I cried. Not a boo-hoo cry but the kind of cry when the tears well so fast and slide down your cheek and you have to keep blinking to see. I know that some would not understand my reaction. And I know that some would probably shake their head and most likely think - "Get a life lady!"
Oh but if they only knew. I have the sweetest life because it is filled with LIFE.
And it is a life that treasures YOU.
Right Little Duck? Our lake and hearts runneth over....
For each of you.
Love,
Kim
Spring has been delayed for weeks in my corner. Thank goodness I have yours to visit. It certainly has been a pleasant, peaceful, joyful one today!

Yes, we are here in spirit for eachother, and today Nel's doggy passed away, and we are all very sad. Jesse was the best dog ever, and the world was a better place cause he was in it.

Your lake photos just get better and better. Swans have always been my favorite birds and being able to go to your site every day and see the swans and babies is such a blessing. I have to say though you have captured some amazing photos of the ducks too. Thanks for all your hard work bringing us all this happiness - even though you enjoy it so much, I am sure it is a lot of work.

I don't think you need to "get a life" I believe you have a life; and a wonderfully fulfilling life it is. I wish I had your talents and your love for nature. It is a gift. Cherish it. Always!
