Photo Friday – An April Afternoon

A quiet afternoon in April, my time my own to fill as I desire, I step outside on the deck, listen to the sweet sound of silence, breathe deeply, and drink in the view.

I first moved to Kamloops when I was eighteen-years-old and, except for the past seven years we spent in Washington state, this city has been my home.

I had no idea it was also home to birds like this. It’s funny what you see when you slow down enough to pay attention.

What a joy it is to have the gift of time to slow down and get to know our new neighbours. I am blessed.

I’m a writer, reader, and creative. I thought by now I’d have things figured out, but I keep coming up with more questions. I think that’s okay. I’m here most mornings pondering ordinary things and the thin places where faith intersects.

    1. How nice to hear from you, Kim! So excited to learn you’re working on a new book. Loved Liar’s Bench!

  2. Linda, what a view! And such beautiful birds. I love your photo Fridays. And it is wonderful to make online friends who, when they retire and move away, are still nearby. 🙂

    1. It is, indeed, a blessing to have the ability to make virtual friends who are kindred spirits, Sherrey.
