ABC Wednesday: Venturesome

Feeling venturesome
and hopeful, I chose to walk
the river greenway.

 Spotting the heron
near the banks of White River
I captured its flight!
 Skimming the river,
it rushes from my presence
leaving me breathless.

Being Venturesome is great. One finds the most beautiful and interesting things along the way. Perfect choice for the letter V.

Isn't it exciting to see wild creatures in their habitat? We have lots of herons around here and I often see them with their feet in the water, but seldom in flight.

Indeed it is, Leslie! The is the first time I've been close enough to see one...and to capture it, albeit with my phone.

They are such graceful birds.

Joy, that so could have happened to me. I had only my phone and the sun caused me unable to see on the screen, so I just pointed and took several pics in hopes of capturing that stunning bird!

Pondering about My Blog

I've been through quite a bit these past months that I haven't posted.  First, packing and moving and then unpacking . The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o

Have humans sat here? Not recently, I think. Perhaps a snow couple rested for a while, and the shadowy remnants of them remain. more Cool Clicks
