But I kept at it, trusting, and to my dismay the ducks quickly paddled near the shore, shrouded by the reeds before I could react.
With the zoom, I kept taking pics, asking the angels, but not really feeling like much was happening. Later, at home, what a treat. Two pairs of birds were in the photo! The red markings on the beautiful cranes are heart-shaped. A sign to keep sending love.
To my surprise, the ducky duo marched up the grassy hill toward the picnic table. They came right over, giving me a perfect photo op. I had to laugh at their willingness.
Thanks to the birds, a lesson was taught on doing our best and leaving the rest to God. What I thought had been nothing as far as the nature photos turned out to be much more than I thought.
And, I was thankful for another reminder that help is always around when we stop and ask the angels to give us a hand. Success can come in the most unlikely ways, no matter what the situation.
Ducks bring a message of emotions being soothed. Stay in a comfortable environment and your difficulties will be easily handled. Seek out emotional comfort and protection.
And, the sandhill crane symbolize sacred guardianship.
Love and joyful blessings,
