This is gorgeous! Your exceptional writing and artful images on display in this beautiful article.

What a wonderful good fortune for having witnessed this lovely bird before leaving Ottawa. It’s like a little gift bidding you adieu until you return.

I look forward to the coming months and seeing what graces the pages of The Planet. Thank you.

And the dream article is fascinating! I’ve never dreamed of my teeth falling out!

I love ducks but learned not to feed them any bread. Wooden decoy (art)ducks are special too.

What a pretty photo capture. Perhaps you like this museum, https://decoymuseum.com/

a decoy museum, fascinating. They should some day make a museum for specialised museums like this one.

In Switzerland the most common dream is about family ! So interesting article about wild floaters. Do they dive for food ? And your back page! Thanks

Wow! I'd never heard of wood ducks. They look amazing. Would have probably mistaken them for mandarin ducks at first glance. Have since googled both and they look nothing alike. Loved reading about them. Thank you!

That dream article - well, if I ever dreamed of being pregnant it was probably a nightmare.

there are some wood ducks in Europe, they don't belong there but I know we have some in The Netherlands
