Bird Life at the Pond
Geese in Pond
For those who have previously read my posts on this blog and may or may not be wondering where a couple of them have gone – the answer is I deleted them – why, because the opinions I had came from my ego.
I have no right to inflict my opinions on anyone. In fact it would be a whole lot more healthy for me not to have opinions on anything!!
Now, having said all that I am a little upset – every two days I take my boy Ben for a walk to the pond which is close to where I live. Its a little reminiscent of a little nature preserve – geese, ducks and swans, as well as a myriad of other birds and sea life inhabit the place. Is it any wonder I am upset when I see trash dumped, all kinds including beer/soda cans, lunch boxes/bags and fishing line all caught up in the bushes that the geese and ducks inhabit.
A friend was telling me one day she was there and saw a duck with a fishing hook caught in its throat!!! Is it any wonder that I am upset? Especially after watching a program on PBS last night regarding the awful BP spill.
I can’t help wonder how it is that so many people only appear to care about themselves and what “they” themselves see. Do they not see the bigger picture? The environment and animal/bird life is going to affect everyone – themselves, their children and their grandchildren. Not to mention all the rest of the earth’s populace.
I apologize if this sounds judgmental or opinionated – I don’t mean to – I just needed to let off steam!!!
