LOON COMMUNION

A dear friend loves her cottage and spends hours in her canoe silently enjoying the splendors nature provides.
Last year she took this photograph of her friend - the loon.
Several people have told me this is one of the best pictures of a loon they have seen!
I just received an email from her, and she says --
"I spent time in my most favorite place…doing my most favorite thing…paddling in the wee morning hours with a cup of tea and listening to the wonderful sounds of mother nature arising to start the day. That morning I was actually just drifting and had my eyes closed listening to the sounds, then when I opened my eyes, there before me about 5 feet away was my friend the loon…back to greet me for another year. She/he spent about 10 minutes just circling the canoe."
Who says the best things in life are not free? Di can tell you they are!
