Stop and smell the flowers. Take the time to appreciate the wonderful and diverse wildlife. Doing these things will help you live life to the fullest.
I live on a lagoon here in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The circumference of the lagoon is exactly ½ mile long which makes it easy to know how far I walk each day. Yesterday I walked a total of 8 miles while taking in the awesome flora and fauna.
The cormorant in the first photo gave me a flashback to one of my greatest overseas travel memories. I was in a boat floating downstream on the Li Jiang (River Li) near Quelin, China when we rounded a corner and discovered one of the most amazing sights one could ever witness: fisherman using cormorant birds to fish. After tying a light string to the bird’s throat safely,
the fisherman sends the bird upward so it can divebomb into the river and catch a fish. The cormorant cannot eat the fish because of the string around its neck, so it returns the bird to the fisherman who cuts a small piece of fish and feeds it to the cormorant as a reward. Quid Pro Quo.
Or as my red-headed Irish Grandmother used to say: “One hand washes the other.”
Truly remarkable. Have a look in the video below!
