It was another beautiful afternoon here and I took full advantage of it by taking my Dotted Dog out for a walk.
The swans were all over the place – lots of them on the slough, but also many of them flying around. They would circle around and around me while I was walking, and of course that made me think of Dad.
I’m sure he’s with me more right now as we get closer to his birthday. The change of seasons also has me thinking of him as well. But the swans were always his thing. He used to take us out there when we were little to look at them, and sent me so many photos of them in later years.
I found some of his swan photos in my email. He was such a talanted photographer and his photos are a wonderful legacy left for us to remember him by.
Thankfully we don’t have all this snow now, but it’s a fantastic shot he took
This is how they were circling over my head today.
It was a happiness moment that brought me close to my Dad today as I walked with the swans. I miss him so much – i miss him even more because my kids needed him so badly. But there’s a reason for everything and above all I have faith.
