TODAY'S PHOTO -
black-bellied whistling duck in Green Cay Wetlands.
Yes, it's real! Last year it always seemed to be
an event when the black-bellied whistling ducks
were seen at Wakodahatchee Wetlands. A few months
ago, I was excited when I saw four of them in Wakodahatchee
and they were only there for a couple of days.
A pair of the whistling ducks were featured in ISSUE
52 of Picture to Ponder, with comments in ISSUE
53. At that time there was a discussion, again,
on the unreal appearance of the birds.
So you can imagine my excitement when we stopped
in this weekend at Green Cay, and were "greeted",
not far from the entrance to the boardwalk, with
the sight of 6 of the black-bellied whistling ducks
on a 3 -limbed wood piece - a pair on each limb!
Click on Whistling
Duck Silhouette to see it. For a cutie, with
a close-up of a pair on one of the limbs, click
on Whistling
Duck Pair - 605.
The black-bellied whistling duck shown here was
the 7th one, slightly apart from the others.
SELF-REFLECTING QUERY
-
Contrasted with what we're seeing here - something
that does not look real and is, I'm reminded of
how often we, as humans, see things that are NOT
real. We do make them so and then interact with
them as if they are real.
For instance, Sam was looking at some papers on
the dining room table the other day. He commented
that we needed to put them away. I made it mean
I wasn't doing things right. He was making demands
on me, etc. etc., then started responding as if
my interpretations of his simple comment were, in
fact, the reality.
Are there places right now where you are operating
from the interpretations you have made and now say
are real? If so, have you checked them out with
the others who might be involved, or with yourself?
