Love in Pictures

Post 285

Most readers of this blog know that for me, the Great Blue Heron (GBH) symbolizes Mo’s presence, which is now transitioning into her life being remembered by not only me, but by others who know our story.

Over the past couple months, and especially in the last couple of weeks into today, love has been shown to me by family and friends - old and new. I am really quite overwhelmed that you think of Morgan and me when you see a GBH and take the time to let me know. I want to thank you, and at the same time, ask you to also find what “that thing” is for many people in your life, and show that kind of unexpected gesture of love. We can each, little by little, one gesture at a time make this world, at least our little piece of it, better and better.

I can tell you that I hope I do a better job of it myself, but it really does add “light” into darkness.

Last Father’s Day, I had quite the experience of a GBH that had come right up on my walking path and not afraid of my and my dog’s presence. Later on the walk I’d seen a couple others, and then the song “Free Bird” came on and I was overwhelmed knowing God’s love and presence that day. The post is here if you’d like to read it.

Today was good and I didn't personally see a live GBH, although I did see this for the first time:

Now I’d like to share the pictures and messages recently sent (a couple taken by me) and thank you again!

My own still shots in the last several weeks are below. I’ve also seen others but they were flying overhead either while I was driving, or just too quickly for me to transition to my camera and take a good picture.
