Balancing act seen at Pickett's Pond in Derby. Taken from a distance so as not to scare the goose away.

Recuperation journey: Christmas moments
I was fortunate enough to experience several "Christmas moments" during the holiday season.
They all center on wildlife - cardinals and deer, to be exact.
On Dec. 20 I wrote this post about two deer I spotted one evening running across the road in front of a car ahead of me. The story drew a lot of readers, I'm happy to say.
A friend said that might be my "Christmas moment." It was, until the next one.
The few Christmas cards I sent featured a photo I took through the window last winter of a cardinal in the snow.
To continue the theme, at our family's Christmas Eve Yankee Swap I got this beautiful cardinal light.
And on Christmas Day our son Cameron - who hadn't read my post about the deer crossing my path - surprised me with this magnificent deer.
The cardinals, blue jays, and squirrels I see outside the window each day and deer crossing my path are calling to me - giving me a signal to slow down and appreciate nature and the wildlife that surrounds us.
All coincidences? I think not.
