They don't fit with many peoples' desire for neat orderly places, but they're probably where life first emerged from the sea. Without wetlands we wouldn't be upright, thinking (although sometimes not so much) mammals.

We were sitting at traffic lights at the junction of 3 major roads (including the A1) and suddenly a heron flew slowly past the window. I had never seen one quite so close before. And watching it struggle to gain height oh so slowly, I rather wondered how they can fly at all. Happy Easter to you.Georginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13232154028235485600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-71478838505924161812020-04-11T22:40:58.610-04:002020-04-11T22:40:58.610-04:00Well, not to feel bad about not seeing the Heron. ...Well, not to feel bad about not seeing the Heron. I haven't seen one either this year. I love the mystique of swamps and love the moody photo opportunities a swamp presents. Trolls, Gnomes, Dwarfs, Pixies, and Fairies.

Love the green grass with white blobs, here, we have green grass, and a few brown patches from last summer's dry spell.We continue in total lockdown, sadly, we now have had 3 more people die, all elderly and frail, 2 from a rest home, one in a public hospital, and with the lockdown, no family person was allowed to be with them, I am assured that the staff were exemplary in their care as a life ended. We can only drive locally to an essential service, and many vehicles have been sent home when found on a road not in their locality. Guess I need to find some fun fabric and play at the machine today. Easter Greetings to you both.Nancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-35628279805679388332020-04-11T14:23:55.145-04:002020-04-11T14:23:55.145-04:00Nice Detour with nice pictures.
