On a gorgeous day, with the sky clear, the sun shining and the weather cool – I was in a funk. Couldn’t explain it – just felt over anxious. Maybe it was the coffee on an empty stomach, maybe it was the too many colas over the weekend, or just a low bio rythm. Anyway – during a photo session of a gorgeous home (326 W Alkire Lake – see gallery – HERE)as melancholy was taking hold, I came across a mother mallard duck – quietly warming her eggs – in the flower pot under the porch! I didn’t want to disturb her, but she took off before I could set my camera straight. Looking at these eggs, and the determination of the mother to occupy them in the presence of humans, made me realize that there is so much beauty in this world, you only have to look around you to find it – and by allowing myself to see the beauty……..Everything felt better.
