Emerging from Winter’s withdrawal, with camera in hand, I manage to catch a few Goldeneye ducks at the river. A positive sign.

Nice photos, V.J. Goldeneyes are among my favorite winter ducks. Since you mentioned them as a positive sign (? of spring approaching), does that mean you only get to see them in spring and summer?

  They pass through here at this time of year (I think), so seeing them means Spring isn’t far behind.

If I said that I have been lyinghere, for three hours now,willing my body to move,that would elicit unsolicitedadvice and tarnish my “fine”. I’d berate myself for breakingmy promise not to moan,knowing that complainingprovokes a compulsive […]
