Walking On Water

This American Coot sure looks like it is walking, or running, on water as it begins its take off. The scene is in Delta Ponds. There are lots of them there now. I got a good shot of their strange feet, which I hope to post later.

My thoughts today were of my father who was born on this day, 103 years ago. He died in 2000.I still miss my parents very much.

Good catch of the water walk! We've kicked up larger groups while kayaking and the sound of their running takeoff is really neat to hear.

Memories of our Parents stay with us and sustain us.
It is good to honour the day of his birth.
