So charming…a beautiful hooded merganser. As I watched him paddle around, I had a wondering.
Do animals, like humans, have a life purpose? I suspect yes.
Perhaps in their innocence and vulnerability, animals open our hearts to experience love and caring and compassion.
They remind us that life is precious and fragile. Such a gift…
As the little duck disappeared around a bend, I smiled, grateful for his presence.
Job well done…
