EXCELLENT ! ! ! ! You have such a focused eye, Rodafina! I remember a quote from long ago. "The small things are infinitely the most important." I think that not many "small things" get by you unnoticed!

velociraptor, your beautiful photograph takes me back to the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale, "The Ugly Duckling." Remember? I think that Andersen could have been talking, metaphorically, in his fairytale about NTs making fun of Aspies, calling us "ugly." But, of course, such name-calling is out of ignorance and out of a lack of understanding the diversity of human life. Through various but through similar methods, our baby "ugliness" gives way to an understanding of who we really and truly are. We are not ducks and we are not ugly. We grow, metaphorically, into beautiful, perfect for our species, adult swans. . . .

I am so jealous you got to see trumpeter swans. I assume this is near where you live?

About an hour and twenty minutes. I live in Strathmore, Alberta. Google Beauvais Lake Provincial Park, Alberta.

From today's paddle.
