Writing under a Montreal sky

A Cormorant

In my neighborhood park some uniformed animal staff were armed with huge nets. They caught this cormorant who was holed up in the roots of my favourite willow tree. The “ chief “ was a chatty type who explained that the bird was exhausted from coughing and they were going to take him to a sanctuary in hopes of curing him.

These guys respond

To requests for help with wild birds or animals. I always think of cormorants as being sea birds but …. The expert told me they live close to all sorts of water.

He was resting under my willow tree

It was such a lovely day that I even went to the other park. – the one with the toboggan hill!

Why doesn’t it look steeper?

It certainly feels steeper as I toil up and down.

A little spark tells me the Camino Finisterre is in my future! Can’t stick to the flat all the time. We’ll see if I can persist. Come on ! Encourage me!

    I think that you should walk the Camino as long as you are able to do so! What a gift! Ability to walk! And you put it to such excellent use!
