This Made Me Think.

On the way back to my car from the nesting colony, I took a couple of shots of this juvenile trying to feed in a rain puddle in the parking lot. He would shuffle one foot and then try to poke around with his beak. Or is it a bill on a stork? Anyway, no wonder he was looking perplexed.... its not easy to probe into asphalt. Of course, he didn't know any difference. Its a body of water, and therefore should have something in it to eat. Logical, huh?

Watching him made me think of how disconnected from Nature we are as a species. Especially our young. So many children don't even grow up playing outside anymore. It makes me wonder how it all contributes to some of the issues that we are confronted with nowadays. We must stay in a state of harmony with the earth we live on, in order to maintain balance. Physical, mental, emotional AND spiritual balance. We must do that, not only for ourselves, but for future generations.
