Borroloola is nice at the time of the festival. If you drop in Darwin one day, give us a yell. 🙂 Will do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betty LaRue Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 Steve Hyde, I’m calling you out. Love the Puffin. Nearest I got to one was in Bar Harbor, Maine. They were somewhere off the mainland but since it was nesting season, the tour boats had shut down. I nearly cried. I could look at Puffin pictures all day, and am fascinated about how they can line up those tiny fish in their beaks. Betty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecile Marion Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I also love Steve’s puffin. I was supposed to photograph puffins off the coast of Scotland later this year, but the small boat company has cancelled the trip. Looking at beautiful pictures will be as close as I’ll get! Such marvelous photos here from everyone. Thanks for lifting my spirits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 One from a walk in the forest. Last time I was on this trail, I didn't encounter a soul. This might be a good time to go back for my daily constitutional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Sky Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 This image was taken just last week, on a snowshoe trip in Banff National Park. It shows Sawback Range, with prominent peak Mt. Ishbel (2908m) In the meantime, Parks Canada has closed visitor vehicle traffic in Banff National Park due to COVID-19 which makes this image even more special as these kind of views will be impossible at least in near future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such marvelous photos here from everyone. Thanks for lifting my spirits! Agree with you, Cecile, beauty is uplifting. In spite of everything, this is a wonderful world we live in. Another note, my daughter, who I spoke to in my driveway as she sat in her car yesterday while we stayed far apart, is showing scary symptoms today. Headache, sore throat and fever. Nothing in her lungs yet. I’m terrified. Those of you of faith, I ask for prayers. Her name is Kim. Just pray for Betty LaRue’s daughter, Kim. She has rheumatoid arthritis and is immune depressed. One’s immune system attacking joints is what causes rheumatoid arthritis, and the drugs she takes for it suppresses that response. Until or unless she develops lung issues, she won’t be tested according to latest local news. I’ve told her to drink warm to hot water every 20 minutes and gargle with salt water. In a news conference, it was said the virus sets up in the throat before traveling to the lungs. The salt water gargle helps kill it and drinking warm/hot water helps wash it into the stomach, where stomach acid kills it. I realize there is some controversy about whether it helps or not. Sure can’t hurt. Betty Edited March 25, 2020 by Betty LaRue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the common cold, aggravated by stress and chronic condition. Yes, gurgle sea salt water, lots of vitamins and liquids. I am not religious, but this evening as I walked by the River in my little mountain town I thought of this; took little rock, threw it in the water and said silently "I wish you well Kim". It will be ok. Trust me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Great thread, Betty. And I hope your daughter just has a common cold. (Not that that's much fun either!) I don't know about anyone else, but I do find it comforting to think that nature and the critters are still out there getting on with it, even though us humans are having a hard time. Here are some of my favourites.

Betty LaRue Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Oh, thank you Martin! They are perfect! What is it about these birds? Fat-looking cheeks, sorrowfully designed eyes. Colorful beaks. And super-talented to be able to pick up those tiny fish without dropping the rest. I would love to hold one and stroke it’s feathers.

Martin L Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) If you ever get to the uk, get to Skomer Island off the Welsh coast between May and August. You can't pick them up obviously but you can have a lot of fun watching them running and waddling around your feet as they cross the paths to get to their burrows. They are amazing birds.
