TODAY'S PHOTO -
as promised on Friday, a photo of an American Wood
Duck in the new Green Cay Wetlands in Boynton Beach,
Florida. This single wood duck has been spending his
time with a family of mottled ducks.
For the record, most of our bird knowledge comes from
asking questions of the photographers or binocular
users, whom we pass on our walks. At Green Cay, yesterday
we saw, seemingly, hundreds of fast flying small birds
with which we were unfamiliar. Thinking he probably
knew, we asked a passing photographer, who was carrying
a camera with a huge lens. The answer, "Swallows!"
When you want information and google.com is not available,
what do you do to find it? Do you ask someone, pursue
it or simply forget it?
Green Cay. like Wakodatchee Wetlands, often referenced
here, is another Wetlands built by the Palm Beach
County Water Utilities Department for reclaiming water.
As written about in their
site, "The Green Cay Wetlands. . .when complete
will include approximately 175 acres of freshwater
wetlands, an interpretive nature center staffed by
the County Parks and Recreation Department, and more
than two miles of elevated boardwalk trails. The Water
Utilities Department looks forward to additional capacity
for recycling water through natural water purification,
increased wetland wildlife habitat, open green space
for people to enjoy, and an educational facility that
will teach the public about water issues and the importance
of wetlands in the South Florida environment."
Open from dawn to dusk, seven days a week, the Nature
Center, which we have yet to visit, has limited hours.
For you Florida residents and potential visitors,
I'm including a link to an article
in The Palm Beach Post. Here you can find more details
about Green Cay, as well as travel directions and
hours.
How fortunate Sam and I are to live so close to both
locations. What can you claim as the best things for
you in the area in which you live?

Responses to the Lantana flower photo were light.
Interestingly, we did hear from two different Debs
with similar weather-related responses!
Debra, in Michigan, wrote: "I love the
shape of the petals on these flowers, as well as
the colors. Such a welcome sight on another cold,
winter day..."Exquisite! So delicate and so
powerful!" and
Deborah, in NJ, wrote: "Sheila this
is so beautiful!! I needed a touch of spring today."
I am so glad that you've all allowed me the privilege
of sharing with you the warmth and beauty that we
experience almost daily here in Florida. Thank you.

Tapping into the Transformative Power of Anger
offered by Adela Rubio, who states:
"Many of us were trained to believe that anger
is a negative emotion. It was something to
be denied, suppressed, ignored. We were taught to
hide it from others and also from ourselves. It
wasn’t nice, it wasn’t good.
What if it held the seed of tremendous power? What
if we approached emotions in general as e-motion
– energy in motion? What if our bodies, in
their immense intelligence, were trying to stir
us into awareness? What if that ‘awareness’
was information about our Passion?."
