A lone egret patrols a stretch of water at Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge, Michigan, one day last summer.

This shot is of twin White-tail Deer, a sister and brother, that were born the previous summer. They are walking down my drive toward a private road. I remember how I enjoyed seeing them stick together that winter. It's a photo that was taken some time ago, but I like it as a shot to represent the quiet stillness that I've been experiencing these past few days between the holidays, as we head out of the old year and into a new one. It has been a peaceful time. I hope it is a peaceful, happy time for my Flickr friends, too.

P.S. Although this photo was made on a day in February, this is almost exactly how it looked out my living room window yesterday when it was snowing, minus the deer.

My trip up north now included a visit to Stockholm - this shot is from Djurgården (which back in the day meant "The game park", for the use of the king and his men - now it's home to museums, an amusement park, Gröna Lund, and recreational grounds).

Lay on my back and I can't close my eyes

'Cause I'm spinning around, can't deny

I'm out of touch

Try to feel my body, so deaf and blind

In this social overload I'm confined

I'm out of touch

When the sun jumped out, wrapping with the mist, you were not only listening to the sound of the falls roaring, also breathing the moisture in the air and feeling the sun kissing the skin…

Another photo from the Pismo Beach Monarch Grove. I stayed for the informational talk by the docent. She explained that though you see clumps of Monarchs, each one is touching the foliage and they are not on top of each other. It's worth sticking around for the talk if you visit.

This was Bastian's third walk outside the safe garden. Still a bit cautious, but also curious...

Another one taken in York a couple of weeks ago, this time at the end of a foraging walk for brunch which was eaten in Rowntree Park on what turned out to be a ridiculously mild day. Oh, how the weather has changed since then! HSS!

Looking out from Gil Maure Park in Lasalle, Ontario is Fighting Island. The largest Canadian Island on the Detroit River was once an industrial wasteland, but recent ecological efforts have helped to restore the land back to its natural state. On this night, the sunset provided a dramatic look to this special place on the river.

View from a nearby farm. Views of land such as this, as for views of water, are never the same, no instant like any before or any to come.

“Sometimes, reaching out and taking someone's hand is the beginning of a journey.

At other times, it is allowing another to take yours.”

― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

At times we feel outnumbered in our attempts to improve the world—to brighten and beautify, to preserve and heal and do what’s best for humanity. Selfless efforts can start to feel beleaguering, discouraging, even pointless with so little support. It is at these times I remind myself that I would rather be the last Good Samaritan standing than to join the ranks of selfish multitudes creating misery.

We all need someone to reach out to occasionally and nowadays, we feel the need to be greater in times of distress, to find comfort, solace and happiness in the company of someone who we have known for a long time and get along with. That's the beauty of SL, a true 'unity in diversity' that we can connect with so many like-minded individuals who brighten our day up.
