Day 366 - 31st December 2016 - Chickadees and Sunrise

This is it - the last day of 2016. Wow, where did the time go! Well 2016 sure had a lot of ups and downs, happy times and sad times. It seemed to be a whirlwind of a year.  My one regret is that I didn't get out birding as much - partly because I started a new job (which I love) and Larry wasn't able to do the long treks over rough land to my favourite spots. Hopefully 2017 will fix him up with a hip replacement in the spring. Highlights - we were fortunate enough to have all the family home to visit at one time and I did a session of family photos. Once again I got to enjoy Harmony Bazaar - the performers are always wonderful.  A new job for me - which involved getting outside of my comfort level at times. No New Years resolutions for me - but there are a few things on my bucket list to accomplish or try. Update - Lexi and I walked a little further yesterday, she got as far as Auntie Lois' for a quick visit. I see slow improvements but she's not back to herself yet. So I guess I continue tomorrow morning with another year of the blog. Over the last few weeks I'm pondered whether to continue but then ... what else do I do at 5am! Learn from the Past, Live in the Present, Look  to the Future.

Chickadee

They hold the seed between their feet - cracking the outer shell with their beak.

Enjoy your day!
