310/365 - "Welcome Home Dave"
Nifty Fifty #24
A neighbor came home from Madison today after receiving a heart transplant. He is in his early 40s. Somebody put one of these paper hearts on my front door step with a note and ribbon inside asking if I'd display it heart on a tree or post welcoming Dave back home and as a reminder of the importance of organ donations. People all over the neighborhood displayed these hearts tonight on their front doors, light posts, trees, lawn ornaments, etc. It was a really heart warming thing to see.
I personally do not know Dave. Many people in town know his wife who is the local librarian but I'm sure many people in town are like me. I walked around the neighborhood with my camera tonight in awe of this wonderful gesture.
I chose this particular photo of the electricity pole because it has the construction in the background. I've been very annoyed the past few months with this town and all of the construction going on, much of it right outside my front door. But seeing the kind gesture of these hearts displayed all over the neighborhood made me proud to be part of this community, despite my annoyances of late.

The Canada Goose
Ottawa, Ontario
Canada
Not too many people like these birds…they’re poop making factories. A friend of mine believes that her backyard pool is a mandatory waypoint for every goose to get certified in aerial bombardment techniques.
Me, I love them. I don’t know why but they make me feel patriotic. I guess it’s just the name since they aren’t Canada’s national bird (we don’t actually have a national bird although the Common Loon is often considered to be the unofficial one and if you’ve ever heard the call of a loon in the wilderness you understand why).
At any rate, in the fall I was fortunate enough to witness “V” formation after “V” formation filling the sky as these guys headed south for the winter. It made me think of what the D Day invasion must have looked like…and probably just as loud. Thousands upon thousands had gathered. Someone decided it was time to go and for the next 15 or 20 minutes the sun was nearly blocked out and the honking was immense.
I had no camera with me. I’m not sure I could have done the scene justice anyway. But I did say “See you next Spring” as the flocks thinned. The event marked what was the start of winter for me.
But now they’re back! They gather up in huge numbers to rest and build up strength to push on further north. And for me their return signals one thing.
It’s SPRING, BABY!
