Thank you for the 'walk in the park' in Ottawa. Thinking 'Good morning' to Woodpecker and Squirrel from afar. Spring showing its bloom. A beautiful video capture of spring's efforts while listening to the critter chatter, invigorating. (-:
Lovely video (and well edited)! You had a nice visit with that pileated woodpecker. They used to be exceedingly rare before the scourge of industrial acid rain in Ontario. The acid caused the tops of maples to "die back" and made them vulnerable to insects. Woodpeckers came to the rescue and thrived on the increased food sources. The increased population in Ontario seems stable, no doubt due to other insects that have been introduced from Asia and Europe such as the Emerald Ash borer.
Wonderful! We can't protect what we don't appreciate... and conversely, we can create more awareness of the bounty there is to be conserved, by appreciating and sharing the joy in it. Thank you for this. On my morning walk today, I discovered a new and very large woodpecker hole in a very old tree near my home, maybe already inhabited by squirrels. Nice to see nature in action, making way for the new.
Beautiful. It seems spring is in the same stage here in Massachusetts. I have my tulips, daffodils, dogwoods, lilacs, iris and more all in full bloom. I love spring!
You always find the beauty in even the smallest things. Your mindful eye is drawn to what others may miss & even the mundane becomes art. Everything in this two minutes is beautiful - the lovely tulips & daffodils, trees budding into new life, reflections on the pond & nature’s creatures welcoming spring under a radiant blue sky. Thank you for the perfect walk in the park.

Adapt and prosper is a lesson they can teach us.

That was very nice. I loved the woodpecker and the beautiful flowers.
Lovely walk! Nature is my meditation ☮🌿
Thanks, Alexander. Since I’m stuck inside due to pollen and construction right outside my house for at least the next week, seeing your walks helps. 💐
Thank you for this lovely break!
