The first snowfall of the year... it must have been late September or October. The weather has a way of changing pretty quickly here in Calgary, and it had warmed up somewhat on this day. I stepped outside on my deck to take out the trash. As I finished my business, I turned to climb the step leading to the door back into the house. Suddenly I noticed something unusual on the step. There was a small bird just sitting there. If I hadn’t noticed him, I might have stepped right on him.
The bird followed me with his eyes, so I knew that it was still alive, but for some reason he wasn’t moving. I went and got my camera and took a few pictures of the little guy. Aside from his head, he still wasn’t moving. I decided to chip away at the ice by his feet and finally he was able to fly away.
There is beauty everywhere when we take the time to notice it.
