Monday I headed for the park, isolation, and fresh air the order of a Coronavirus day, plus the need for soul food. I was blessed to see three groups of deer, none of whom spooked, allowing me to even get a halfway decent shot or two with my iPhone.
Even more unusual was the red-winged blackbird landing on a bush just a short distance from me. It didn’t stay long, but I shot it! What a morning! Just what the doctor ordered.
Oh – never seen a red winged blackbird- how lovely.
They’re everywhere in the park and all singing away. 😁

That would certainly have put a smile on my face too!!
Even though the skies were cloudy, it was a beautiful walk.
Stay well!
Thanks. You as well.
how beautiful and what we all need to do, find a bit of beauty where we can
That’s always been true but it’s even truer now. ❤️
Ah, a lovely walk and beautiful sights would do it for me too!
As I probably already said before, if I didn’t have to get ready to move next week, I’d be loving just staying at home and drinking tea and reading books. LOL. As it is, I’m packing tea and packing books and packing everything else. 🤪
Been there, done that! My thoughts are with you, and sending good vibes your way for a smooth move and transition to your new home and state!
Thanks, Deborah. We just want to get there…and then staying indoors or out on our patio will be fine!! In fact, welcome!
Oooo! How beautiful! I was planning on another day in the woods, but the rain decided to rain instead, so I’m indoors dreaming of wild mushrooms. Got some yesterday–DELICIOUS!
Yum!! Rainy here today, too, but yesterday was sunny and beautiful, although I was inside most of the time.
Great shots! RW Blackbirds are tricky to get a good shot of – even with a telephoto camera!
Precisely why it was such a miracle, Lindy. 🥰
A literal breath of fresh air. Lovely, and so welcome right now.
Glad you enjoyed it/them. 🙂
Wonderful!
It was. The deer were so calm and since I stopped as soon as I saw them and then moved very slowly, they didn’t startle.
Cool!
It was.
What a great outing, Janet!
It was. I look forward to the time when I have the time to go out again.
I’m glad you saw and shared these. It’s good to see how already in some places animals are venturing out where they couldn’t go before.
Susan, I usually see animals in this park, but it was especially appreciated that day. I read that pollution is down drastically in places like Venice due to people not being out.

I saw that too. It’s hard to feel it at the moment, but perhaps some good will come out of this. Even our just better understanding the worth of things is a good thing in the longer term.
Spending time with family, being outdoors even if just in the yard, time to read/write/bake/play board games, etc., and just appreciate what we had and will have again but with hopefully greater gratitude and with a different focus on what’s important.
I agree wholeheartedly.
Your Monday walk was TOPS! 🙂
❤️. Thanks, Joey!
